Ventilation or filtration control is widely applied to improve indoor particle matter (PM) concentration. Adjusting the ventilation rates to control indoor PM levels can affect the concentration of other indoor pollutants and energy costs, and increasing the filtration flow rate can lower the indoor PM concentration, but also increase the fan energy consumption. In this study, we developed a ventilation and filtration control strategy to determine the optimal control mode and flow rate of the system to meet indoor PM (especially PM2.5) concentration, ensure adequate indoor air quality (IAQ), and minimize fan energy consumption. First, a dynamic model to estimate the indoor PM2.5 generation rate was developed based on the mass balance model and then verified by experiments. Next, the control limit (CL) curve was developed on the basis of the indoor PM2.5 characteristics depending on ventilation and filtration control during various indoor and outdoor PM2.5 conditions (indoor PM2.5 generation rate and outdoor PM2.5 concentration). In addition, an algorithm was proposed to determine the optimal control mode and flow rate of the system. Condition zone control can keep indoor PM2.5 below or as close to the desired target concentration as possible, maintain IAQ within acceptable ranges, and save about 15~70% of fan energy compared with the conventional rule-based control under the case condition.
