This calculation seems off: "Ventilation rates are often expressed as a volume rate per person-minute (CFM per person, L/s per person)." So the numerator in the equation should have volume (Air changes per hour), but the denominator should have persons. The problem is the "D" in the formula. It says it's Occupant density (occupants/ft). According to this, very high densities of people will lead to... very high CFM per person! Shouldn't the D be on the denominator? 192.252.228.172 ( talk) 23:43, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Listed reference, while a good reference, doesn't support these statics. According to the EPA, ASHRAE recommends a minimum of 0.35 air changes per hour. I haven't read the quoted ASHRAE document but the EPA is pretty authoritative source.
The ACH your referring to more involves EPA and ashrae ventilation requirements. And since recent changes doesn't allow for infiltration to provide ANY of this ventilation. This STANDARD (ashrae 62.2 I believei) s questionable at best, due to it only being efficient and effective in a limited number of climate zones. This article should however, somehow differentiate between nACH and ACH@ 50 pascals. Thermal-contractors ( talk) 00:40, 6 February 2014 (UTC)Harry davis, thermal contractors, Blackshear,Ga
Energy_recovery_ventilation (and related systems?) should be mentioned in this article. Fholson 12:55, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
A new section should be started called Mechanical Ventilation. It should include erv, hrv, and a few others.

For the ventilation rate equation, ventilation rate is given as ft^3 / person, but the equation listed above it ends up as ft^3/min-person = ((air changes / hr)*(person/ft^2)*ft)/(60 min/hr)=air changes - person / ft-min Wesharait ( talk) 02:22, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
Would it make sense to have the equation as M3/h instead of l/s?
1 L/s = 3.6 m^3/h
1 m^3/h = 0.2777777778 L/s (

I think it's 6 ACH for hospital rooms. Can someone who knows for sure edit the article? Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.171.88.245 ( talk) 21:16, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
