Hypothesis 3 - Radiant Heater Effectiveness

The radiant heating units on the east and west walls of the first and second floors of the atrium stairwell are not necessary to maintain an adequate comfort level*.

* An adequate comfort level for the atrium space is considered to be between 68 degrees and 72 degrees Fahrenheit.

Data 3

The following page shows the raw data from the temperature records taken at the WRC's atrium space. The images here show the temperature changes over fourteen (14) days for each HOBO unit placed on the western wall above the radiant heating units.
