The primary law governing blackbody radiation is the Planck Radiation Law, which governs the intensity of radiation emitted as a function of wavelength for a fixed temperature. The Stefan-Boltzmann Law gives the total energy being emitted at all wavelengths by the blackbody (which is the area under the Planck Law curve). The energy emitted grows proportional to the 4th power of the temperature.
