Units
Air Flow Volumes
metric
cubic meters per second (cms)
US
cubic feet per minute (cfm)
air flow in cubic feet per minute =
= (number of air exchanges per hour) * (room volume in cubic feet) / 60
number of air exchanges per hour =
= (air flow in cubic feet per minute) * 60 / (room volume in cubic feet)
