Abstract
In an investigation of indoor climate conditions initiated by the Indoor Climate Committee of the Meteorological Research Council in Palestine in the autumn of 1946 the mean radiant temperatures of walls of dwelling-rooms were (among other factors of the indoor climate) measured by means of the globe thermometer of Vernon.
