This dataset underpins a journal article titled "Co-creation of an Airflow and COVID-19 Transmission Risk Model for Shelter Design." The paper introduces the first collaboratively developed tool designed to guide shelter design by ensuring adequate natural ventilation, optimal indoor air quality, and minimized airborne transmission risks. This study explores the development and application of this tool to promote healthier shelters and enhance the shelter design process.

Data was collected using the JISC online tool across two phases: the first before the tool's creation and the second after its implementation by participants. The dataset includes responses from online surveys conducted with participants from various global locations. It encompasses information on shelter designers' experience in shelter construction, their background knowledge of natural airflow and indoor air quality, and feedback on the usability of the co-created tool.
