Abstract: In this work, we share the dataset collected during the Smart Green Homes (SGH) project. The project’s goal was to develop integrated products and technology solutions for households, as well as to improve the standards of comfort and user satisfaction. This was to be achieved while improving household energy efficiency and reducing the usage of gaseous pollutants, in response to the planet’s sustainability issues. One of the tasks executed within the project was the collection of data from volunteers’ homes, including environmental information and the level of comfort as perceived by the volunteers themselves. While used in the original project, the resulting dataset contains valuable information that could not be explored at the time. We now share this dataset with the community, which can be used for various scenarios. These may include heating appliance optimisation, presence detection and environmental prediction.
