15ACH

That's about the same as a laboratory. One complete change of air takes about 4 minutes.

What it means

How fast is the air changing?

Air changes assume the incoming air mixes completely. In practice some of it short-circuits straight to the extract, so the effective rate is lower.

The math

How to convert m³/h to ACH

Air changes are flow divided by room volume: ACH = m³/h ÷ room volume. The figures below use the room selected above.

Example: 150 m³/h = 15 ACH.

The table below is for Bathroom (10 m³).
