AB  - BACKGROUND: Considering that, environments with information and communication 
      technology innovations, including educational institutions, are providing more 
      interaction among individuals anywhere in the world and contributing to higher 
      learning flexibility, it is necessary to pay extra attention to the radiation 
      dissipated by technological equipment in these environments. OBJECTIVE: 
      Investigate whether the behavior of the globe temperature (tg) in relation to the 
      air temperature (ta) could affect the performance of students in information 
      technology laboratories (ITLs). METHODS: The methodological procedures adopted 
      consisted of the following analyses in six institutions: thermal variables - mean 
      radiant temperature (trm) and (tg-ta); students' performance and architectural 
      elements. RESULTS: ITL G was the ITL with the highest incidence of thermal 
      radiation, thus a mathematical model was proposed for this sample to determine 
      whether (tg - ta) and trm are related to overall student performance (Dt). For 
      each increase of one degree in the difference between the globe temperature and 
      the air temperature (tg-ta), the students' performance in the institution G 
      decreased by approximately 29%. CONCLUSION: As well as productivity can be 
      altered due to changes in air temperature in air-conditioned teaching 
      environments, in this specific case, if tg> >ta, possibly the thermal radiation 
      may interfere with the performance of the people present in the environment 
      technological innovations of communication and information.
