 note = {The information on downward longwave (LW) radiation is necessary for the design of the passive cooling system of buildings. Because the measured LW radiation data are not available in most locations, few studies have focused on the modeling of LW radiation in China. In this study, empirical models for estimating LW radiation were proposed under all-sky conditions based on the meteorological parameters such as the ambient dry-bulb temperature, water vapor pressure, and relative humidity, which can be classified into four cases: All day, nighttime, and daytimes with and without considering the cloud modification factor. The proposed models performed are well compared with the existing models. The LW radiation datasets for 351 locations of China were developed using the proposed model for all the day based on the typical meteorological year. Moreover, the distribution map of radiative cooling potential in July was created using the proposed model for the nighttime, which can provide a valuable reference for building cooling design., This article may be downloaded for personal use only.
