CFM Static
Pressure

Calculate the amount of air exchange needed (CFM) in order to adequately ventilate the area.

CFM: (Per Fan)

To calculate the CFM required to adequately ventilate an area, we divide the room volume by the appropriate "Minutes per Change" value.

[CFM] = [Room Volume] / [Min./Chg.]

Step One: Determine Room Volume ft³ (Help)

Step Two: Determine Minutes per Change min./chg. (Help)

Step Three: Number of Fans:

STATIC PRESSURE GUIDELINES
Non-Ducted:	0.05'' to 0.20''
Ducted	0.20'' to 0.40'' per 100 feet of duct (assuming duct air velocity falls within 1,000 to 1,800 feet per minute)
Fittings	0.08'' per fitting (elbow, register, grill, damper, louver, duct turn, etc.)
Kitchen Hood Exhaust	0.625'' to 1.50''
Important: Static pressure requirements are significantly affected by the amount of make-up air supplied to an area. Insufficient make-up air will increase static pressure and reduce the amount of air that will be exhausted. Remember, for each cubic foot of air exhausted, one cubit foot of air must be supplied.
