Dataset on energy efficiency assessment and measurement method for child-friendly space in cold residential area

The data related in this paper are related to “Environmental-behavior studies of sustainable construction of the third place – based on outdoor environment-behavior cross-feed symbiotic analysis and verification of selective activities” (Ren, 2017) [1]. The dataset was from a field sub-time extended investigation to children of Hohhot West Inner Mongolia Electric Power Community Residential Area in Inner Mongolia of China that belongs to cold region of ID area according to Chinese design code for buildings. This filed data provided descriptive statistics about outdoor time, behavior scale specificity, age exclusivity and self-centeredness for children in different ages (babies, preschool children, school age children). This data provided five measurement elements of child-friendly space and their weight ratio. The field data set is made publicly available to enable critical or extended analyzes.


More specific subject area Type of data
Tables, Text file How data was acquired Outdoor-time and behavior-system were observed by field sub-time extended investigation to children; Cognition of child-friendly space and its weight ratio were observed by questionnaire, researching, observing and mathematical statistics.

Data format
Raw, Analyzed Experimental factors Publicly available data sources in all seasons.

Experimental features
Relationship between children' outdoor behaviors and outside space (environment) was assumed continuous interacted, and assessment and measurement method of space were given.

Value of data
The data presents children' activities of different ages in cold area communities such as outdoor time, behavior scale, comprehensive exclusivity and self-centered. The data also provides the proportion and measuring contents of the five criteria (seasonal circulation, accessibility, safety, versatility and comfort) of child-friendly public space in cold residential areas.
The data presents the assessment and measurement method of child-friendly public space in cold residential areas.
Other researchers may find the data useful for different types of analysis in areas such as urban public planning and child-healthy community.
The data are publicly available, but are dispersed within several different sources.

Data
The dataset of this article provides information on children' activities and outdoor time of different ages in cold area communities (babies, preschool children, school age children) [2,3], and it provides the proportion and measuring contents of child-friendly public space in cold residential areas. Table 1  shows various stages of life circle and their percentage. Tables 2-4 shows outdoor time distribution of  children and their percentage. Tables 5-7 shows other cognitions of friendly space in children of different ages. Tables 8-9 shows measurement elements and spatial form of child-friendly space.

Experimental design, tools and methods
The dataset was from a field sub-time extended investigation to children (babies, preschool children, school age children) of Hohhot West Inner Mongolia Electric Power Community Residential Area in Inner Mongolia of China that belongs to cold region of ID area according to Chinese design code for buildings. Energy efficiency was done by DSPI model, and measurement elements and spatial form of the child-friendly space was done by Matrix analysis, and resulted from weighting the threelevel evaluation of Table 9 [4,5].    Table 5 Child behavior scale for 3-5 years old pre-school children. (The following data are the average range of boys and girls).    The venue is suitable for organizing various community activities. 0.04 The site is suitable for people of all ages. 0.05 The venue is surrounded by small shops, snack bars, farms and so on. 0.03 Table 9 Children' behavioral attributes and spatial form in child-friendly space.
Childrenfriendly space type and characteristics The diversity of children's behavior (1) Using the formula of comprehensive energy efficiency to explain the cognition of friendly space in children of different ages: Comprehensive energy efficiency: (Energy Efficient) ¼S (Season Circulation)*B (Behavior Particularity) *E (Comprehensive exclusivity) *S (Selfcentered), and the essence is a DSPI model, so DPSI ¼Driving-forces (Season driven) -Pressures (Comprehensive exclusivity) -State (Behavior Particularity) -Impacts (Self -centered). (2) The final analysis is the weighting result of the three-level evaluation: multiplying the matrix of the two-stage comprehensive evaluation vector with the comprehensive weight matrix W, and the three-level comprehensive evaluation vector is obtained. The final different layers are as follows: V ¼{V1 (children's friendliness is high), V2 (child friendliness is higher), V3 (child friendliness is general), V4 (child friendliness is lower), V5 (child friendliness is low)}
