Mean radiant temperature

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mean Radiant Temperature (MRT) is the uniform surface temperature of a black enclosure with which an individual exchanges the same heat by radiation as the actual environment considered. It describes the radiant environment for a point in space.

Radiant temperature can be approximated by a black-globe thermometer which measures the effects of radiant and convective heat transfer.
