The calculation is designed to help you calculate the required rate of ventilation in a room based on the size of the room.

Inputs
Ventilation Rate per Square Metre
:0.3
Output
Rate of Ventilation, L/s
:2.1
Explanation
Rate of ventilation in a room refers to the amount of air that is exchanged in the space between the outside environment and the interior of the room over a given period of time. This calculator uses the area of the room and the required ventilation rate per square metre to calculate the required rate of ventilation.
RV=AR∗Vr
RV=OverallRateofVentilation(Ls−1)AR=AreaofRoom(m2)Vr=VentilationRateperSquareMetre(Ls−1m−2) 💡 Make sure to check recommendations and standards for ventilation rate per square meter depending on your particular situation.
