Frequently Asked Questions

What is CFM?

CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) is a measurement of air flow that indicates:

  • The volume of air moved per minute
  • A key metric in HVAC and ventilation systems
  • Used to determine proper air exchange rates
  • Essential for maintaining indoor air quality

What are Air Changes per Hour (ACH)?

Air Changes per Hour represents how many times the air in a space is replaced within one hour. This is important because:

  • Different spaces require different air change rates
  • Higher ACH rates are needed for areas with more contamination
  • Typical residential spaces need 4-6 air changes per hour
  • Commercial spaces may require higher rates based on occupancy

How do I measure room dimensions?

For accurate CFM calculations, proper room measurements are essential:

  • Measure length, width, and height from wall to wall
  • Include all spaces that need ventilation
  • Use consistent units of measurement
  • Account for any architectural features that affect volume

Why use total volume instead of dimensions?

The total volume option is useful when:

  • Working with irregular-shaped spaces
  • You already know the total volume
  • Dealing with complex architectural features
  • Converting from existing calculations
