The comprehensive and accurate assessment of the indoor air quality (IAQ) in large spaces, such as offices or multipurpose facilities, is essential for IAQ management. It is widely recognized that various IAQ factors affect the well-being, health, and productivity of indoor occupants. In indoor environments, it is important to assess the IAQ in places where it is difficult to install sensors due to space constraints. Spatial interpolation is a technique that uses sample values of known points to predict the values of other unknown points. Unlike in outdoor environments, spatial interpolation is difficult in large indoor spaces due to various constraints, such as being separated into rooms by walls or having facilities such as air conditioners or heaters installed. Therefore, it is necessary to identify independent or related regions in indoor spaces and to utilize them for spatial interpolation. In this paper, we propose a spatial interpolation technique that groups points with similar characteristics in indoor spaces and utilizes the characteristics of these groups for spatial interpolation. We integrated the IAQ data collected from multiple locations within an office space and subsequently conducted a comparative experiment to assess the accuracy of our proposed method in comparison to commonly used approaches, such as inverse distance weighting (IDW), kriging, natural neighbor interpolation, and the radial basis function (RBF). Additionally, we performed experiments using the publicly available Intel Lab dataset. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed scheme outperformed the existing methods. The experimental results show that the proposed method was able to obtain better predictions by reflecting the characteristics of regions with similar characteristics within the indoor space
