Predicting Indoor Carbon Dioxide Concentration using Online Machine Learning : Adaptive ventilation control for exhibition halls

A problem that exhibition halls have is the balance between having good indoor air quality andminimizing energy waste due to the naturally slow decrease of CO2 concentration, which causes Heat-ing, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning systems to keep ventilating empty halls when occupants have leftthe vicinity. Several studies have been made on the topic of CO2 prediction and occupancy predictionbased on CO2 for smaller spaces such as offices and schools. However, few studies have been madefor bigger venues where a larger group of people gather. An online machine learning model using theRiver library was developed to tackle this problem by predicting the CO2 ahead of time. Five datasetswere used for training and predicting, three with real data and two with simulated data. The resultsfrom this model was compared with three already developed traditional models in order to evaluate theperformance of an online machine learning model compared to traditional models. The online machinelearning model was successful in predicting CO2 one hour ahead of time considerably faster than thetraditional models, achieving a r2 score of up to 0.95.
