Radiosity is a convenient quantity in optics and heat transfer that represents the total radiant intensity leaving a surface (Gan, Guohui, Numerical Method for a Full Assessment of Indoor Thermal Confort, Indoor Air Journal, 1994,4:154-158). Radiosity accounts for two components: the radiation being emitted by the surface, and the radiation being reflected from the surface.
