Technical query in regard to the above title.
I appreciate that effective and suitable provision shall be made to ensure every enclosed workplace is ventilated by a sufficient quantity of fresh or purified air. The flow rate should not fall below 5 - 8 litres per second, per occupant.
What I am interested in as what would this be in terms of complete air changes per hour. The area in question is a stockroom for a retail shop. Size would vary depending upon location, but as a rule of thumb (if such a thing exists) what should I be looking at?
Thanks
Phil

We need to know the volume of the room.

I have no idea on the volume to be honest. The size is approximately 15m long, 6m wide and around 4m tall...360cu.mtr ???

Phillipe,
There are 1000 litres in a cubic metre. As previous respondents state, if you know the room volume, the maths aren't too difficult.

Hi Phillipe, what will happen if you do not find this out?
