Thermal Sensation Classification Dataset based on ASHRAE Global Thermal Comfort Database II

The dataset is based on ASHRAE Global Thermal Comfort Database II (version 2.01), which includes sets of objective indoor and outdoor climatic observations with accompanying “right-here-right-now” subjective evaluations by the building occupants.  Data rows lacking information for any of the selected variables from the original dataset were excluded. Consequently, the dataset contains 10,618 data rows. Description of individual variables in the dataset are as follows:

·         Tair: Air temperature measured in the occupied zone (°C) ranging from 13.4 to 45.3 with 10,618 data points.

·         Vair: Air speed in the occupied zone (m/s) ranging from 0 to 4.71.

·         Relative Humidity (RH): Relative humidity in the occupied zone (%) ranging from 14.5 to 88.8.

·         SET: Standard Effective Temperature in Celsius (°C) ranging from 10.93 to 38.94.

·         CLO: Intrinsic clothing ensemble insulation of the occupant (clo) ranging from 0.23 to 2.87.

·         MET: Average metabolic rate of the occupant (met) ranging from 0.7 to 3.5.

·         Age: Age of the occupants ranging from 16 to 95 years.

·         Sex: Sex of the occupants, categorized as Male or Female.

·         Tout: Outdoor monthly average temperature during the field study (°C) ranging from 5.3 to 38.1.

·         Season: Season during which the study was conducted, categorized as Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter.

·         Building Operation Mode: Can be Air Conditioned (air, radiant, etc., with no operable windows), Naturally Ventilated (no mechanical cooling, with operable windows), or Mixed Mode (mechanical cooling and operable windows, with concurrent, changeover, or zoned control).

·         Building type: Type of building where the study was conducted, categorized as Classroom, Office, or Senior Center.

·         Thermal Sensation Vote (TSV): ASHRAE Thermal Sensation Vote of the occupant, ranging from -3 (cold) to +3 (hot).
