To estimate the radiative heat loss from greenhouses, a new equation for calculating the sky temperature is presented. The sky temperature in the Daegu region was measured using a pyrgeometer and calculated using different equations according to the cloudiness. The calculated and measured results were then compared to identify the best equation for calculating the sky temperature. The difference value between the air and sky temperature was dissimilar and increased as the cloud amount decreased. On clear days the difference value was 10∼20 times greater than that on cloudy and rainy days. When analyzing the correlationship between the calculated and measured sky temperatures on clear days, Bliss’s and Clark & Allen’s equations were found to be superior to the other equations. However, on cloudy days, the best correlationship between the calculated and measured sky temperatures was exhibited by Fuentes’s equation. Therefore, a new equation is proposed for calculating the sky temperature on a cloudy day.
