Name Type Description Quantity
PeopleRate double The ventilation rate associated with the number of occupants within a space, example: 0.00025 m3/s per person -
AreaRate double The ventilation rate associated with the area of the space, example: 0.0003 m3/s*m2 -
AirChangeRate double The air change rate per hour (ACH) is a value that denotes the amount of air that must be replaced each hour, based on the volume of the space (1 ACH would be 1x the volume of space each hour, if the space is 1m3, it would be 1m3 of outside air per hour) -
