Calculation method

Calculation method

Room volume (m³)

Room volume × supplied air changes per hour; no prescribed ventilation-rate lookup.

Required airflow (m³/hour)

Room volume × supplied air changes per hour; no prescribed ventilation-rate lookup.

Required airflow (litres/s)

Room volume × supplied air changes per hour; no prescribed ventilation-rate lookup.

Symbols and units
a
Room length (m)
b
Room width (m)
c
Room height (m)
d
User-selected air changes (per hour)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • User-supplied measurements and assumptions; Room volume × supplied air changes per hour; no prescribed ventilation-rate lookup. Supported limits: Finite numeric values bounded to 1e9 magnitude; lists and tables contain 1–100 records unless a stricter bound is stated. Inputs use the units shown. Lists explicitly paired by a method must have matching lengths; independent polynomial coefficient vectors may differ. Respect stated physical, interpolation, policy and computational domain limits.
