CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute)

CFM, or Cubic Feet per Minute, measures the volume of air moved or handled by a fan, blower, or ventilation system in one minute. It indicates how much air the device can circulate, ventilate, or exhaust. Higher CFM values mean more air is moved quickly, which is important for effective cooling, heating, or air exchange. For example, a strong exhaust fan for a kitchen or bathroom will have a higher CFM to efficiently remove odors and moisture. Understanding CFM helps ensure you select a system suitable for your space’s size and air quality needs.
