Abstract

Two datasets are provided in the file, 1) temperature and humidity data used to generate heat index for assessment of indoor thermal comfort levels between houses with different passive cooling options, cool roof, mat ceiling, cross ventilation and control. 2) Mosquito data collected by CDC light traps to assess impact of housing modification on indoor mosquito numbers.
