Determine Ventilation Requirements - Trane EDHUM098 Installation & Operation Instructions

Determine Ventilation Requirements

The MINIMUM ventilation requirement is calculated using ASHRAE 62.2-2016. Use one or both of the options below
to determine your ventilation requirement. Follow all local and national building and safety codes.
Option 1: Calculating Airflow Requirement Using ASHRAE 62.2-2016 Airflow Equation
ASHRAE Airflow in CFM = [House Area in Sq.Ft. x 0.03] + [(Number of Bedrooms +1) x 7.5]
NOTE: Use 'Number of Bedrooms + 1' or 'Number of Occupants', whichever is larger.
Example 1: Number of Bedrooms + 1
1800 square foot house with 3 bedrooms, 4 occupants = [1800 X 0.03] + [(3+1) X 7.5] = 84 CFM
Example 2: Number of Occupants
1800 square foot house with 3 bedrooms, 5 occupants = [1800 X 0.03] + [5 X 7.5] = 91.5 CFM
Record the required CFM ____________
Option 2: Calculating Airflow Requirement Using Table 4.1 from ASHRAE 62.2-2019
