How many CFM do I need per room?

Created · Updated

Start with volume

Room CFM is commonly estimated as volume × ACH ÷ 60. A floor-area rule cannot account for ceiling height.

Use the room purpose

There is no universal room CFM. Use the applicable ventilation purpose, code, and equipment design data.

FAQ
