Theoretical models are developed of the spectra and dust temperature distributions of giant galactic molecular clouds and OB associations. The models are based on four components: a diffuse atomic medium (protons), cold dense H II molecular clouds, extended low density (ELD) H II regions, and active molecular clouds in star formation regions. The interstellar radiation field spectrum is calculated from 0.1-10 microns to account for contributions from known types of celestial objects in regions where the stellar luminosity differs from the solar neighborhood at a 5 kpc galactocentric radius. The components are examined in terms of grain temperatures, energetics and IR spectra. Each component is found to dominate in some spectral region, although ELD H II radiation is always highest in the realm of energetics.
