Abstract
A method of achieving a comfortable temperature in the surroundings of a person, who is present in a room of low temperature, by means of a radiator is quickly reached and continuously maintained by continuously measuring the temperature in the surroundings of the radiator (18). While a direct thermal influence of the radiator is avoided, or the measurement is avoided, a required irradiation for the person is calculated from the temperature data by an electronic unit. The distance between the person and the radiator is measured, and the required power is provided to the radiator (18) in accordance with the calculated irradiation and the measured distance.
