Winter temperature in Australian homes

Australia is considered to be a warm climate, yet there is increasing evidence that Australian homes are colder than many 'cold' countries. This project surveyed Australians and placed temperature sensors in 505 homes to determine the true extent of the problem. TempZone model Temp U 03 temperature and humidity loggers were placed in the living room of each home from May through September 2022. Logging interval was 15 minutes, downloaded and converted to hourly data. Participant ID numbers in the files with the temperature and humidity data match those in the survey data file for the same home. These hourly data have been summarised in the survey data file, which gives winter averages, minima, maxima and proportion of winter temperatures below 18 degrees C. (2023-05-18)
