Friends Center Building, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The data from the Friends Center Building in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, come from a one-year study of 24 U.S. office occupants. These office occupants recorded a set of possible drivers of personal comfort and behavior over time by completing online daily surveys, which provided information on individual thermal comfort, preference, and behavior information with datalogger readings of the occupants? local thermal environments and control states. The surveys yielded 2,503 responses and tens of thousands of concurrent behavior and environment measurements. These data have been used to uncover links between the built environment, personal variables, and adaptive actions. The data contribute to international research collaborations focused on understanding the human-building interaction. This dataset could support the investigation of the mechanisms that drive the interaction between building occupants and their surrounding environments, which affect both energy use and environmental quality.
