Dataset for "Indoor environment quality and work performance in ‘green’ office buildings in the Middle East"
This data was collected from 13 office buildings in Amman Jordan. It covers five green 'LEED' buildings and eight conventional buildings. The dataset includes the following:
1. Objective data of four thermal conditions indicators (air temperature, mean radiant temperature, relative humidity and air speed) and an indoor air quality indicator: carbon dioxide concentration level.
2. Subjective data include the post-occupancy evaluation (POE) and absenteeism and presenteeism data.
3. Thermal comfort indicators included thermal sensation votes, thermal preference vote, and predictive mean vote.

This data include the subjective data of occupant satisfaction with indoor environment quality and objective data of five indoor environment indicators (air temperature, mean radiant temperature, relative humidity, air speed and carbon dioxide concentration). in addition, the document included data of thermal comfort indices and absenteeism and presenteeism. Data were collected from 13 office buildings in Amman, Jordan between summer 2017 - winter 2019.

Collection date(s):
From 15 July 2017 to 14 February 2019
Geographical coverage:
Amman, Jordan
Documentation
Data collection method:
The objective data has two themes: continuous measurements and spot measurements. Continuous measurements were undertaken using Raspberry Pi-based sensors to investigate the actual performance of buildings over long time. Monitored buildings were provided with 83 Raspberry Pis to monitor air temperature and relative humidity, and 21 Raspberry Pis to monitor CO2. The periodic spot measurements which complied with ISO 7730:2005 and ISO 7726:2001 were conducted to assist in evaluating the occupants’ thermal comfort and calculate the Predicted Mean Vote (PMV). Spot measures were done simultaneously to the time of the survey using the HD 32.3 instrument.
Data processing and preparation activities:
All monitored buildings were given a code as the organizations required their data to be anonymised.
Technical details and requirements:
Continuous measures: Raspberry Pi-based sensors Spot measure: HD 32.3 kit from Delta OHM.
Additional information:
The data were categorized into two groups according to the building type: green and conventional.
