Abstract Household air purifiers have been widely used as an effective approach to improving indoor air quality. Air purifiers can automatically record indoor air quality parameters, providing valuable data resources for in-depth data-driven analysis. This work presents a one-year hourly indoor air quality dataset collected by household air purifiers in 100 residential homes in 18 provinces across 4 different climate zones in China. The data were collected from July 1, 2021, to July 1, 2022. The concentrations of formaldehyde, PM2.5, TVOC, temperature, relative humidity, on/off status and the airflow rate of air purifiers during operations were recorded hourly. The data were carefully screened with possibly missing values imputed using chained equation-based methods if any. The dataset provides a comprehensive and detailed picture of the indoor air quality in residential buildings, enabling evaluations on the cleaning effect of air purifiers, the impact of outdoor climate change on indoor air quality, and the future trends in indoor human behavior.
