Data collection mode

Up to 8 sensors monitoring utility usage (Gas, Water, and Electricity) and the indoors environment (Temperature, Humidity, TVOCs, PM2.5, and eCO2) were installed in each of 279 homes. External environmental sensors (monitoring Temperature, Humidity, TVOCs, PM2.5, PM10, and eCO2) were installed on the outside of a subset of homes. Data was transmitted wirelessly to an online storage system where participants could access real-time and historic data for their own homes. Data collection began in October 2017 and ended in March 2023. Raw data was cleaned, anonymised, and divided in to individual files for combinations of specific sensors (SensorID) installed in each home (HomeID), before being split by sensor type in to the folders provided here. The included Technical Report contains further detail of the study background, data collection methods, overview data for the study's homes and participants, and further description of the data files. Grouping factors for metadata are restricted to limit group sizes to 5 or above.
