Hygrothermal microclimate: New system for evaluation of non-uniformity

Abstract

The non-uniformity of the hygrothermal constituent of the environment (NUN) causes problems not only in hot workplaces in industry, but also in light buildings, in air-conditioned and even in ventilated buildings. It is almost impossible to avoid cold draughts, unilateral thermal radiation etc. in such situations. The theory of NUN in space and in time and climatic NUN (convective, radiant, perspiratory) and conductive NUN is presented, as well as its estimation by a new instrument, the stereothermometer.
