Thermal vulnerability alleviation in low-income housing in mediterranean climate. [Dataset]

Description

Este conjunto de datos es parte de un estudio que analiza la vulnerabilidad térmica en viviendas de bajos ingresos (VPO) en climas mediterráneos, enfocándose en la importancia del confort térmico, un aspecto esencial del bienestar humano y la eficiencia energética. Para ello, se seleccionó un caso de vivienda social en Sevilla, una ciudad caracterizada por un clima de verano caluroso y seco, para analizar principalmente la efectividad de la fachada como elemento constructivo amortiguador de calor durante las horas pico. Tras verificar la solución constructiva adoptada de acuerdo con la legislación española vigente (CTE), se llevó a cabo un estudio comparativo de dos dormitorios similares para evaluar la efectividad de diferentes sistemas para mejorar el confort térmico sin recurrir al aire acondicionado: a) la influencia de abrir/cerrar ventanas en las condiciones interiores de la habitación, b) el uso de un pequeño ventilador de mesa, c) el uso de un humidificador ambiental y d) la colocación de un parasol en la ventana. El dataset en cuestión proporciona los datos de condiciones ambientales (Temperatura, Humedad relativa y Punto de rocío) de ambas habitaciones y del exterior en las fechas de estudio.

Abstract

This dataset is part of a study that analyzes thermal vulnerability in low-income housing (VPO) in Mediterranean climates, focusing on the importance of thermal comfort, an essential aspect of human well-being and energy efficiency. To this end, a social housing case in Seville, a city characterized by a hot and dry summer climate, was selected to primarily analyze the effectiveness of the facade as a heat-buffering construction element during peak hours. After verifying the adopted construction solution in accordance with current Spanish legislation (CTE), a comparative study of two similar bedrooms was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of different systems to improve thermal comfort without resorting to air conditioning: a) the influence of opening/closing windows on the room's indoor conditions, b) the use of a small table fan, c) the use of an ambient humidifier, and d) the placement of a sunshade on the window. The dataset in question provides data on environmental conditions (Temperature, Relative Humidity, and Dew Point) for both rooms and the exterior on the study dates.

Abstract

The dataset contains information collected from two Lascar thermo-hygrometers (model EL-USB 2 LCD), equipped with two recording channels and operating within a range of -35°C to 80°C and 0% to 100% relative humidity (RH), with a resolution of ±0.5°C and ±3% RH.
