WHAT IS AIR FLOW TESTING?
What Are Air Flow Rates?
Air flow ventilation rates describe the volume of outdoor air that is supplied to or exhausted from an indoor space over a set period of time. In simple terms, this measures how much fresh air is entering or leaving a building. Maintaining the right ventilation rate is essential to keeping indoor environments safe, comfortable, and healthy.
Why Ventilation Matters
Pollutant Removal – Adequate airflow helps reduce indoor pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and other harmful contaminants.
Moisture Control – Proper ventilation helps manage humidity levels, preventing mold growth and structural damage.
Health & Comfort – Fresh air circulation reduces occupant fatigue, headaches, and discomfort linked to poor indoor air quality.
Regulatory Compliance – Meeting recognized standards (such as ASHRAE guidelines) ensures your facility operates within best-practice benchmarks.
