Abstract

Building consumptions has been the focus of numerous researchers since the introduction of building energy with zero carbon. However, many researches have indicated that excessive use of energy to produce comfort leads to problem associated with indoor air quality like high level of indoor CO2. It is therefore essential to create a strategy to improve this condition. This paper presented both investigation and prediction regarding strategies to indoor CO2 reduction as energy-efficient approaches. The research was consisted of two stages, in which the first stage was to monitor the existing of indoor CO2 level and reduce it when exceed the standard. Whereas, the second stage was to predict the level of indoor CO2. An approach of indoor CO2 monitoring was carried out by smart sensor system through Arduino UNO Microcontroller and an Artificial Neural Network was involved to predict the level of indoor CO2 during the application of smart sensor system. The results indicated that the application of smart sensor system was remarkable in diminishing indoor CO2. Besides, the use of Artificial Neural Network involved network architecture of 4–30–30 with learning rate initial of 0.7 and activation function of relu. The model showed positive correlation which characterized by R2 value that was 0.599. Ultimately, this research found the correlation between energy-efficient consumption in building and a strategy to reduce indoor CO2 in order to create comfort and healthy environment. In addition, keep bear in mind that is important to find out the connection between the indoor environmental and its surroundings to create positive ambience that leads to sustainable development.
