Air Change Calculator

Welcome to our Air Change Calculator, tailored for professionals undertaking abatement projects or other commercial work. This tool is designed to help you determine the precise air flow necessary for any project space or work area. Simply input the space's dimensions and your desired air changes per hour, and the calculator will deliver the cubic feet per minute (CFM) needed to achieve your project's air quality standards. If you don't know your ACH required, use our table below as a reference point for engineering recommended ACH based on the building you're working in.

Once you have your CFM, navigate through our curated collection of premium air scrubbers and negative air machines, each annotated with their respective CFM. This ensures a seamless match to your project's specific requirements. We're here to streamline your selection process, offering the best solutions for optimal air cleanliness.
