Dataset for "Indoor environment quality and work performance in ‘green’ office buildings i

Data from 13 office buildings in Amman, Jordan, includes five LEED-certified green buildings and eight conventional buildings. It combines objective measurements of thermal conditions and air quality with subjective post-occupancy evaluations and absenteeism data. The dataset was collected by Rana Elnaklah of the University of Bath.

Use Cases

• Compare thermal comfort indicators like thermal sensation votes between green and conventional buildings.
• Analyze correlations between objective carbon dioxide concentration levels and subjective occupant evaluations.
• Model the relationship between absenteeism/presenteeism data and indoor environmental quality metrics.
• Assess the performance of predictive mean vote calculations against actual occupant thermal preference votes.

Strengths

• Includes data from 13 distinct office buildings, allowing for comparative analysis.
• Combines objective sensor data (e.g., air temperature, CO2) with subjective survey responses and absenteeism records.
• Covers a specific comparison between five LEED-certified green buildings and eight conventional buildings.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
