Abstract:
The risks associated with particulate matter on human body are not limited to outdoor environments only. Research showed that outdoor particulate matter can infiltrate inside spaces through various processes, such as window and door diffusion, as well as wall penetration. Majority of the neural network based existing methods for predicting indoor air quality are opaque models lacking clear physical interpretability. These models overlook the optimization of input samples as well as the seasonal spatial and temporal distribution of the concentration of particulate matter. As a result, the accuracy of predictions is compromised, and the computational load of the models is also increased. This paper presents a novel model for predicting the concentration of indoor particulate matter, called the Warped K-means - Osmotic Diffusion Mechanism - LASSO Attention Temporal Convolutional Network (WKM-ODM-LATCN). Firstly, redundant variables are eliminated using the LASSO regression algorithm. Then, sub-datasets are created with distinct seasonal characteristics using the warped K-means algorithm. Models of osmotic diffusion mechanism are constructed for each season based on the principle of particulate mass balance. Finally, based on the optimized dataset and predicted spatio-temporal information about the mechanism model as the input values of the multidimensional attention temporal convolutional network, the concentrations of indoor particulate matter in the future time periods are finally predicted. The obtained results demonstrate that WKM-ODM-LATCN has superior prediction accuracy in comparison to earlier approaches, hence confirming the practicality and dependability of the proposed approach. This study aims to effectively include spatial and temporal environmental data in order to accurately estimate the concentration of indoor particulate matter. Additionally, it demonstrates strong physical interpretability. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd
