Data collection method:
The data was collected via a thermal comfort survey, including spot measurements of environmental parameters, the surveys were conducted directly in a Tigrinian language. The families were selected randomly. Given the range of backgrounds, intra-household dynamics, education and literacy levels, all surveys were administered through an interview. A repeated transverse survey method was used to collect the data. The thermal comfort scales were the standard 7-point ASHRAE thermal sensation scale and the 5-point thermal preference scale
