I don’t know that much how the human body cooling system work, but the lungs could be considered as the radiator (as would the skin be).

This normal process of heat moving away from the body usually occurs in air temperatures lower than 20 °C (68 °F). The body loses 65% of its heat through radiation. https://www.healthlinkbc.ca/health-topics/cold-exposure-ways-body-loses-heat
