Room ventilation calculator.

Enter room dimensions, occupancy and your design criterion. Calculate airflow, air changes and the equivalent rate per person.

Your design inputs

The starting values are examples. Replace them with your project inputs.

The room
The design criterion

These rates are examples, not room-type requirements. Only the selected criterion is used. “Greater of” compares the two rates; it does not add them.

the result includes.

Start with the ventilation strategy

Room volume = length × width × height. For an air-change criterion, airflow in L/s = volume × air changes per hour ÷ 3.6. A per-person criterion multiplies occupants by the entered L/s/person; a floor-area criterion multiplies area by L/s/m².

Choose rates appropriate to the activity, pollutant loads, occupancy, building type and project requirements. The example inputs are not prescribed ventilation rates or evidence of compliance. Supply, extract, transfer air, filtration, draughts, acoustics and system resistance still need designing.

The result is an airflow requirement from your chosen criterion, not a fan selection. Nuaire Selector ↗ can help with product selection once the complete duty is known.

Calculations run in your browser. Engin does not save these inputs.
