CO2-based recommendation system for predictive ventilation schemes in different real-life building applications using deep learning

Description

The article presents a data-driven, low-intrusiveness system that uses historical CO₂ sensor data and deep learning to predict indoor CO₂ concentrations and provide ventilation recommendations. The system reduces the need for extensive IoT infrastructure by relying solely on CO₂ data. Six machine learning models (including LSTM, TCN, GRU, and S2S) are evaluated for their predictive accuracy across various room sizes and settings. The best-performing model achieved an R² of 0.97 and an RMSE of 50.46 ppm in large rooms. Real-world pilot studies in Spain, Portugal, Denmark, and Greece validated the system’s effectiveness in maintaining healthy indoor air quality through proactive window-opening guidance. The model proves to be scalable, cost-effective, and suitable for residential, institutional, and office environments.
