Abstract

This article describes data collected from an online questionnaire survey of 2, 039 adults in England, Wales, and Scotland (Great Britain) to assess the provision and use of mechanical ventilation, trickle vents, and windows in their homes. The survey was deployed on the 17th of June 2022 and collected data across four categories: socioeconomic and demographic characteristics, dwelling features, ventilation practices, and other contextual factors. The questionnaire included 65 questions and had a median completion time of 12 minutes, with all respondents completing the survey.

The dataset is broadly representative of the British population and housing typologies. It provides valuable insights into the relationships between dwellings, occupants, their ventilation provision, and behaviours. The data is stored in a comma-separated values (.csv) file containing 396 variables, with responses formatted as binary, continuous, discrete, categorical, and free-text.

This dataset can be utilised by academics for indoor environmental quality and energy modelling to refine assumptions about ventilation provision and practices. Public health professionals can use the data to estimate the health impacts of exposure to indoor pollutants, which can result from poor ventilation provision and to develop targeted health information. Government can use this evidence to inform policies and strategies aimed at improving ventilation in existing homes. The dataset is accessible through the Mendeley Data repository.

英国家庭通风设备和使用的调查数据

本文描述了对英格兰、威尔士和苏格兰（大不列颠）2039名成年人进行的在线问卷调查收集的数据，以评估他们家中机械通风、滴流通风口和窗户的供应和使用情况。该调查于2022年6月17日展开，收集了四类数据：社会经济和人口特征、住宅特征、通风实践和其他背景因素。问卷包括65个问题，平均完成时间为12分钟，所有受访者都完成了调查。该数据集广泛代表了英国人口和住房类型。它为住宅、居住者、通风设备和行为之间的关系提供了有价值的见解。数据存储在包含396个变量的逗号分隔值（.csv）文件中，响应格式为二进制、连续、离散、分类和自由文本。该数据集可被学者用于室内环境质量和能源建模，以完善有关通风提供和实践的假设。公共卫生专业人员可以利用这些数据来估计暴露于室内污染物对健康的影响，这可能是由于通风条件差造成的，并可以制定有针对性的健康信息。政府可以利用这些证据为旨在改善现有房屋通风的政策和战略提供信息。数据集可以通过Mendeley数据存储库访问。

期刊介绍： Data in Brief provides a way for researchers to easily share and reuse each other''s datasets by publishing data articles that: -Thoroughly describe your data, facilitating reproducibility. -Make your data, which is often buried in supplementary material, easier to find. -Increase traffic towards associated research articles and data, leading to more citations. -Open up doors for new collaborations. Because you never know what data will be useful to someone else, Data in Brief welcomes submissions that describe data from all research areas.
