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
