This repository gives you access to the CLIMATEREADY survey dataset containing thermal comfort votes during the 2021 and 2022 heatwave periods in Pamplona, Spain, as well as other relevant parameters self-reported by surveyees (e.g. occupant characteristics and behaviour, key building/dwelling characteristics, sleep problems, heat-related symptoms), used as case study for the research paper Exploring indoor thermal comfort and its causes and consequences amid heatwaves in a Southern European city—An unsupervised learning approach [SSRN preprint].
This dataset is part of the CLIMATEREADY research project. The aim of this project is the assessment of the adaptability of residential dwellings in Spain to the global warming, promoting passive measures in the design and use of the buildings to get an adequate indoor environment in summer conditions, minimising and quantifying overheating risks and with the minimum cooling.
