1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive 2-year-long dataset capturing Occupant Behavior (OB) of students living in residential dorms, collected both before and after a complete building envelope and energy retrofit. The dataset is categorized into three data sets: OB, Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ), and detailed energy usage. OB data includes window and door status, while IEQ data comprises measurements of indoor CO₂, Total Volatile Organic Compounds (TVOC), temperature, relative humidity, and lighting levels. Energy data spans 16 electrical channels in the building, covering stove usage, exhaust hood, lights, refrigerator, plug loads, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) energy consumption by zone, water heater, and Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) units (post-retrofit). The study revealed a 77.81% reduction in total HVAC energy usage, 57.70% decrease in infiltration Air Changes per Hour (ACH), and 57.78% reduction in average TVOC concentration. Enhanced thermal comfort during the late summer and early fall transition period led to a 12.33% decrease in window opening frequency and a 34.51% reduction in window opening duration. The building resilience improved significantly as the 'Extreme Caution' hours were reduced by 93.00%. This dataset offers significant value by enabling researchers to quantify key relationships among OB, building energy efficiency, and IEQ, acknowledging the influence of behavior on these outcomes.
