Ventilation rates

Ventilation rates refer to how much outdoor air is exchanged with indoor air within a space, often measured in cubic feet or meters per minute. This process helps remove indoor pollutants, humidity, and odors while bringing in fresh air for occupants. Adequate ventilation is essential for maintaining good air quality, preventing the buildup of harmful substances, and supporting occupants’ health and comfort. Standards typically specify minimum ventilation rates based on space size and use, ensuring that indoor environments remain safe and comfortable for everyone.
