For that purpose, the data was gathered in three phases in May, June, and July 2017 at the International Medical Centre (IMC) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, which was selected as an example of a best-practice hospital. Environmental monitoring for a week of each month in the summer season was undertaken to assess thermal environmental parameters. This was supported by simultaneous comfort surveys of the sample patients. 2019-09-11 University of Bath public RightsHolder University of Bath Saudi Arabia Cultural Bureau in London https://doi.org/10.13039/100012363 bimi dcarb cent_eden samba The used methodology is objective measurements and patients' surveys simultaneously. Objective measurements: Indoor air temperature (Ta), mean radiant temperature (Tr), air velocity (V), and relative humidity (Rh), along with estimations of patients’ metabolic rates (met) and notes about clothing insulation (clo), were recorded. Surveys: The survey consists of several questions; thermal sensation votes, health scale, parts of day, and demographics. Swema equipment was used to measure the indoor environment parameters. Data was stored in Excel and R was used to analyse the data. 2017-05 2017-07 Jeddah, Saudi Arabia en 1 10.15125/BATH-00678 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2019.106561 pub open
