title = "Comparing occupant thermal perception of air conditioning and ceiling-mounted radiant cooling panels coupled to a roof pond",
abstract = "An experimental study compared the thermal response of subjects in two test rooms, one of which was cooled by a roof pond coupled to radiant cooling panels and the second by a conventional split AC unit. Measurements of the surface temperatures indicated that structural cooling and thermal stabilization were obtained in the roof pond room, whereas in the air-conditioned room thermal control was achieved only within the short period of the session through air temperature changes. For similar air temperature, there was a slight preference for the roof pond room, which had a lower Mean Radiant Temperature. The roof pond room was found to be more effective in ensuring comfort conditions continuously and without occupant intervention.",
