Calculation Steps
- Determine the area of the space in square feet.
- Identify the required air changes per hour (ACH) based on the type of space.
- Calculate the volume of the space by multiplying the area by the ceiling height.
- Multiply the volume by the ACH to get the total air volume per hour.
- Divide the total air volume by 60 to convert it to CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute).
