How to use

Enter room dimensions and total airflow in CFM.

Formula

ACH = CFM × 60 ÷ room volume

Variables

CFM is flow; room volume is ft³; ACH is changes per hour.

Example

240 CFM in a 2,400 ft³ room equals 6 ACH.

Result interpretation

Measured supply, outside air, exhaust, and filtered recirculated airflow serve different purposes.

FAQ

Does ACH mean all air is perfectly replaced?

No. It is a volumetric rate, not a mixing guarantee.
