Uncertainty is the state of all operation, components, and objective environment that makes impossible to describe the existing state. Forecasting techniques are essential in the field of knowledge development to overcome the uncertainty to increase the efficiency of all systems. In this paper, artificial neural network algorithm is applied to forecast the CO2 concentration in an office building. The algorithm is implemented in Rstudio software using neural net package. The case study of the paper presents two scenarios with different input data to propose the impacts of train data on forecasting algorithms results. The used dataset in the case study is real data that have been monitored for 2 years. The obtained results of algorithms show the predicted values of CO2 concentration in one office for 600 minutes of a working day. The mean percentage error means absolute percentage error, and standard deviation of predicted data for both scenarios are presented in results section.
