Method notes 3 notes
  • Room volume is floor area times average ceiling height.
  • ACH = airflow × 3600 / room volume. Required airflow = room volume × target ACH / 3600.
  • ACH is a room air-change screen, not a complete outdoor-air code calculation. For occupied-building ventilation, check the applicable ASHRAE 62.1/62.2 or local-code method.
