Three Chinese thermal comfort dataset files are downloaded from https://osf.io/d465n/. Yang, L., Zhao, S., Zhai, Y., Gao, S., Wang, F., Lian, Z., Duanmu, L., Zhang, Y., Zhou, X., Cao, B., Wang, Z., Yan, H., Zhang, H., Arens, E., & de Dear, R. (2023). The Chinese thermal comfort dataset. Scientific Data, 10(1), Article 1. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-023-02568-3

We cleaned the data (documented in the Data_cleaning.ipynb) and the resulted files are CN_DB_CITY and CN_DB for regression discontinuity analysis

Note: Thermal preference (cooler, no change, warmer)is described in the paper, but is missing in the dataset
