How to calculate ventilation air per person

This calculator finds ventilation air per person by dividing total outdoor airflow by the number of occupants.

How the calculation works

Air per person = Outdoor airflow ÷ Number of occupants.

Example

400 CFM outdoor air for 20 occupants: 400÷20 = 20 CFM/person.

Pro Tips for Ventilation Air Per Person

  1. Building codes and ventilation standards typically specify minimum CFM-per-person requirements based on space type and occupancy density — confirm your specific applicable standard.
  2. Higher-occupancy spaces (like conference rooms or classrooms) generally need more total outdoor air, though the per-person requirement may be similar to lower-occupancy spaces of the same type.

Common Ventilation Air Per Person Mistakes to Avoid

  • Assuming a single per-person ventilation target applies to all space types, when actual code requirements vary by occupancy classification and space use.
