辐射供暖系统（地板供暖、天花板）的性能得到了比较充分的证明。在建筑结构中嵌入管道的水基系统现在正越来越多地用于冷却目的。一些基于计算机模拟的理论研究已经发表，但很少有关于现有建筑实际性能的报告。在不同的外部和内部负荷下，这些系统如何运行，以及空间温度如何保持在舒适范围内，仍然存在不确定性。为了研究这一方面，在几个具有辐射表面系统的建筑物中进行了热舒适条件的现场测量: 多层建筑中每层之间的混凝土板中嵌入管道的地板、墙壁和系统。对工作温度、空气温度、表面温度、系统温度和外部温度进行了长期测量。本文给出了测量工作温度的结果。数据分析表明，在入住的大部分时间内，工作温度在舒适范围内。数据显示，白天空间温度升高，而夜间空间温度相应降低。这项研究表明，许多建筑中的循环辐射系统是全空气辐射的有趣替代方案- 用于获得可接受的室内热环境的调节系统。单位:SICitation:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，第108卷，第页。2.

The performance of radiant heating systems (floor heating, ceiling panels) is relatively well documented. Water-based systems, where pipes are embedded in the building structure, are now being increasingly used for cooling purposes. Several theoretical studies based on the use of computer simulations have been published, but very little has been reported on the actual performance in existing buildings. There are still uncertainties on how such systems operate and on how well the space temperatures are kept within the comfort range under varying external and internal loads.To study this aspect, field measurements of thermal comfort conditions were made in several buildings with radiant surface systems: floor, wall, and systems with pipes embedded in the concrete slabs between each floor in a multistory building. Long-term measurements of operative, air, surface, system, and external temperatures have been carried out. The present paper present the results of the measured operative temperatures.The analysis of the data shows that, for the major part of the time of occupancy, the operative temperature is inside the comfort range. The data show an increase in space temperature during the day, which is counterbalanced by a corresponding decrease during the night. This study shows that hydronic radiant systems in many buildings are an interesting alternative to full air-conditioning systems for obtaining acceptable indoor thermal environments.Units: SI
