The data was surveyed and collected in three methods: post occupancy monitoring, questionnaire and gas meter records. The general situations and lifestyle patterns, including the heating demand and appliance controlling, were captured through in-depth questionnaire and walk around survey. Temperature (T) and/or Relative Humidity (RH) of household living room or bedrooms were automatic recorded hourly from December, 2012 to April, 2013. Quarterly household gas meter records were collected. They outlined the general situation and specific character of each household. In each household, 3 loggers were installed in living room and bedrooms (south facing and north facing), attached to positions 1m above the floor in each room, with no direct exposure to sunlight. The outdoor temperature were also recorded for comparison purpose. To get lifestyle patterns in detail of the residents, questionnaires were developed to collect information regarding household, equipment and operation in the following areas, questions about family: members, vocation, education, employment and income etc.; questions about house location, area, orientation, etc. ; questions about lifestyle patterns: age, activity, clothing, time staying at home, etc. ; questions about heating boiler demands: time, room, temperature, etc.; lists of gas-consuming equipment and other issues concerning the environmental awareness, waste classification, energy saving building refurbishment, energy efficiency electricity appliance. Information concerning the households’ characteristics and specifics was shown in Table 1.
