    Your math is correct, but

    EPA? I have never used the EPA as a standard of ventilation, not to say that you do not have a specific application such as radon mitigation.



    But I do not know, so may I back up a bit and ask a question?



    What is the application you are ventilating and is it to a code you are adhering such as the IMC? Or ASHRAE 62? (62.1 or 62.2 depending on commercial vs. residential)? Often the standards I apply are expressed as a certain fairly low cfm per SF value plus a specific CFM per Person value, added together. Very few spaces have a direct ACH rate anymore.  So, to be of best help, I just wanted to ask.
