Abstract
Forecasting indoor temperatures is crucial for efficient HVAC system control. Data scarcity hinders this, as extreme scenarios are rarely recorded. This paper investigates using synthetic data generation via AI methods (GANs and VAEs) to augment real data and improve forecasting accuracy. The study assesses the synthesizers independently and then evaluates their utility in forecasting using a simple LSTM model. Results show that synthetic data augmentation enhances forecasting accuracy and mitigates training variance.
