This work directly challenges these views and provides proof-of-concept solutions examined for a transient thermal-comfort scenario. The lack of widespread commercial adoption of radiant-cooling technologies is due to two widely held views: 1) The low temperature required for radiant cooling in humid environments will form condensation and 2) cold surfaces will still cool adjacent air via convection, limiting overall radiant-cooling effectiveness. Thermal radiation exchange between occupants and surfaces in the built environment can augment thermal comfort. The results from this thermal-comfort study demonstrate the ability to keep people comfortable with radiation in warm air, a paradigm-shifting approach to thermal comfort that may help curb global cooling-demand projections.Ībstract We present results of a radiant cooling system that made the hot and humid tropical climate of Singapore feel cool and comfortable.
