I'm considering running CO2 to increase yields. Problem is venting the lights. I know it's not ideal, but can I just vent the lights into a far corner of the room? This way I circulate air, but don't have to worry about exchanging air from the outside (I live in an apartment so I can't cut holes in the wall, and also not having air exchange would allow me to run CO2 with just a CO2 calcualtor and regulator)
Can I just vent the lights into a corner?

how many times will you run the co2 a day
how many times will you run the co2 a day ?

your regulator will determine co2 level needs. if you just turn it on 1 time a day, how are your plants going to get what they need? read!

Problem is that if you don't vent the air you will just be circulating old air that isn't fresh. But circulating the air is a lot better than just letting it build and become stagnate. I say if you have room and your temps don't fluctuate than you should be good to just move it to the side on a constant basis, especially if you are adding CO2 throughout the day.
If your in a closet then a good idea would be to open the door periodically throughout the day. This can exchange the air but you might be a little susceptible to odor leaks. However a few plants usually doesn't produce enough of a odor to cause too big of a problem. Just make sure the temp doesn't rise to above 80(F) or your in trouble.

yeah, that's correct. regardless, 1 time a day ain't gonna get it done. (good catch!)
