Building management system with indoor air quality management using outdoor air quality forecasting

A method for monitoring or controlling air quality of a building, the method comprising:

• obtaining, by one or more processors from a regional air quality data source, a first set of outdoor air quality data, wherein the first set of outdoor air quality data represents air quality measured for a region including the building or proximate to the building;
• obtaining, by the one or more processors from one or more local sensors coupled to or positioned proximate to the building, a second set of outdoor air quality data, wherein the second set of outdoor air quality data represents air quality measurements at one or more positions at or near an exterior of the building;
• executing by the one or more processors, a model using the first set of outdoor air quality data and the second set of outdoor air quality data as input to generate an air quality assessment for the building based at least on determining a correlation factor between the first set of outdoor air quality data and the second set of outdoor air quality data, wherein executing the model to generate the air quality assessment for the building includes:
• executing the model, using at least a portion of the first set of outdoor air quality data and at least a portion of the second set of outdoor air quality data as inputs to the model, to:
• determine, based on a comparison of at least the portion of the first set of outdoor air quality data and at least the portion of the second set of outdoor air quality data, a weight metric correlating at least the portion of the first set of outdoor air quality data with at least the portion of the second set of outdoor air quality data;
• and
• generate, using the weight metric, a predicted air quality value for the building;
• wherein the model is trained using data correlating local air quality data with regional air quality data;
• wherein the predicted air quality value for the building is determined relative to outdoor air quality proximate to the building;
• and
• controlling, based at least on the air quality assessment, one or more building systems to affect the air quality within the building, by implementing one or more control actions.

One or more non-transitory storage medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to implement operations comprising:

• obtaining, from a regional air quality data source, a first set of outdoor air quality data, wherein the first set of outdoor air quality data represents air quality measured for a region including a building or proximate to the building;
• obtaining, from one or more local sensors coupled to or positioned proximate to the building, a second set of outdoor air quality data, wherein the second set of outdoor air quality data represents air quality measurements at one or more positions at or near an exterior of the building;
• executing a model, using the first set of outdoor air quality data and the second set of outdoor air quality data as input to generate an air quality assessment for the building based at least on determining a correlation factor between the first set of outdoor air quality data and the second set of outdoor air quality data, wherein executing the model to generate the air quality assessment for the building includes:
• executing the model, using at least a portion of the first set of outdoor air quality data and at least a portion of the second set of outdoor air quality data as inputs to the model, to:
• determine, based on a comparison of at least the portion of the first set of outdoor air quality data and at least a portion of the second set of outdoor air quality data, a weight metric correlating at least the portion of the first set of outdoor air quality data with at least the portion of the second set of outdoor air quality data;
• and
• generate, using the weight metric, a predicted air quality value for the building;
• and
• wherein the model is trained using data correlating local air quality data with regional air quality data;
• wherein the predicted air quality value for the building is determined relative to outdoor air quality proximate to the building;
• and
• controlling, based at least on the air quality assessment, one or more building systems to affect the air quality within the building, by implementing one or more control actions.
