Overview of Ventilation Calculation

 Ventilation is mainly used for:

 control indoor air quality (IAQ) by diluting and
displacing indoor pollutants
 control indoor temperature, and air motion to
benefit thermal comfort
 satisfaction with other aspects of indoor
environment, or other objectives.

 Ventilation for IAQ:

Woodshop
Floor area: 30m²
Room height: 3m
Overview of Ventilation Calculation

 Ventilation for IAQ:

m = A·R m = Occupancy x R
Where: Where:
m = air flow rate m = air flow rate
A = floor area R = outdoor air rate
R = outdoor air rate

ASHRAE Standard 62.1 2019 Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality
Overview of Ventilation Calculation

 Ventilation for IAQ:

m = A·R
m = 30m² x 0.9lps/m²
m = 27lps

m = occupancy x ventilation rate

m = (30m²)(20person/100m²)(5lps/person)
m = 30lps
Overview of Ventilation Calculation

 Ventilation for IAQ:

m = V·ACH
Where:
m = air flow rate
V = space volume
ACH = air change per hour

 Ventilation for IAQ:

m = V·ACH
Where:
m = air flow rate
V = space volume
ACH = air change per hour

m = (30m²)(3m)(6ACH)
m = 540m³/h ≈ 150lps
