Abstract

It is known that in crowded environments such as educational institutions and workplaces, keeping indoor air quality and climate within certain limits contributes to success and production. For this purpose, a system has been developed to ensure air quality well-being in working environments. In our study, the Arduino processor managed by the fuzzy logic control system (FLC) starts to work with the trigger of the motion sensor HC-SR501. The inputs of the FLC system are defined as LM-35 sensor for temperature, DHT-11 for humidity, MQ-135 for air quality, MQ-9 sensor for CO and explosive gas. The designed system evaluates the instantaneous data obtained from the fuzzy logic system rule base and decides which of the output air filter, heater and alarm systems will operate at what speed. In order to increase system efficiency, fuzzy logic input membership values are optimized by genetic algorithm.
