Thermal comfort in a house is strongly affected by the so called radiation effect,which is due to radiation heat transfer between the person and the surrounding surfaces,a person feels much colder in the morning.For example ,because of the lower surface temperature of the walls at that time,although the thermostat setting of the house is fixed.Write an essay on the radiation effect,how it affects human comfort,and how it is accounted for in heating and air-conditioning applications
