Abstract

Indoor Air Pollution is one of the most ignored topics that require serious investigation. People spend most of their lives in either closed AC offices or within AC bedrooms which are not monitored at all. Several indoor air pollutants can affect human health out of which \(\text {CO}_{2}\) is most dominant. Time series forecasting is a very powerful tool which has been successfully used in a wide range of research domain for predicting next moment’s value if it is time-dependent. Here, we have found this tool fits well in the present scenario and thus used for solving this issue. Out of the different time series models present in the domain, using the SARIMA model, we have achieved a prediction accuracy of 102.2 parts per million (ppm), i.e., 89.78% for the indoor pollutant prediction which is outperforming other forecasting models.
