Comprehensive Five-Year Dataset: Internal, External and In-Wall Climate Monitoring of a Retrofitted Historic Building in South Tyrol

The "Comprehensive Five-Year Dataset: Internal, External and In-Wall Climate Monitoring of a Retrofitted Historic Building in South Tyrol" represents an extensive and meticulous data collection stemming from a five-year long monitoring effort in a retrofitted 17th-century building located in Settequerce, South Tyrol, Italy.

This dataset includes comprehensive and continuous hygrothermal data both from within the retrofit wall stratigraphy (at three different depths) as well as from the surrounding indoor and outdoor climatic conditions. These conditions were recorded every five minutes over the course of the monitoring period. This rich dataset provides a profound understanding of the building's performance in the specific climatic context of South Tyrol's zone E or Köppen's Dfb class.

This dataset could prove particularly valuable for studies seeking to understand the impact of local climate on building performance, refine numerical models, and inform future renovation and preservation projects of similar historic buildings.

The recorded data was subjected to meticulous post-processing using Python scripts to generate hourly averages. This procedure has been undertaken to facilitate better understanding and analysis of the data. Moreover, in scenarios of equipment malfunction, signal non-reception, or inconsistent data, specific values are denoted as "NaN" (Not a Number) in the dataset. This practice allows researchers to quickly identify and exclude potential outliers or erroneous entries during analysis, maintaining the integrity and reliability of the data.
