As an alternative to the equation of radiative equilibrium, the equation of thermal balance of electrons is used in order to derive temperature structures in NLTE model stellar atmospheres. The calculations are accomplished for various stellar parameters comprising different stellar types, and both methods are compared. It turns out that the application of the electron thermal balance equation is superior to using the standard equation of radiative equilibrium in the outer, line forming parts of stellar atmospheres and beyond.
