Cooking, heating, insulating products and services (CHIPS) for Mongolian ger: Reducing energy, cost, and indoor air pollution

This data represents several experiments conducted on Ger for UNICEF Mongolia's Ger of the 21st Century Project. The aims of that porject were to improve the thermal performance of ger (or \"yurts\" in Russian) to decrease air pollution in Mongolia. Four main experiments were conducted for that project. In the 2018-2019 winter, data was collected on the Penn Ger, an experimental ger built at the University of Pennsylvania's Pennovation research campus. Several experiments were conducted on this ger to evaluate different experimental techniques and protocals that could be deployed in Mongolia. During the 2018-2019 winter, the 2018-2019 Test Ger were built on a ranch near Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. These ger tested different thermal interventions that might be applied broadly in Mongolia. Also during the 2018-2019 winter, five occupied ger in the ger districts north of Ulaanbaatar, the 2018-2019 Occupied Ger, were monitored to understand baseline thermal and indoor environmental data in ger. Fi..., Data was collected using Onset thermal monitoring equipment and AirVisual Pro air quality monitors. The data was collectec and organized in R. Standardized timesteps and data increments were used., , # Data from: Cooking, heating, insulating products and services (CHIPS) for Mongolian ger: Reducing energy, cost, and indoor air pollution

## Description of the data and file structure

The data included covers several buildings:

* Penn Ger: One ger (or \"yurt\" in Russian) built on the Pennovation Research campus at the University of Pennsylvania
* 2018-2019 Test Ger: six unoccupied prototype ger built on a ranch near Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia with different thermal interventions to test their performance
* 2018-2019 Occupied Ger: five occupied ger in the ger districts north of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
* 2019-2020 Bayankhongor Ger: 8 ger and a Bashin (traditional Mongolian stick built house) in Bayankhongor, Mongolia

For each of these buildings thermal environmental data, air pollution, and energy use data were collected using Onset equipment and AirVisual pro air quality monitors.
