Can I use air changes per hour to estimate ventilation system sizing?

Air changes per hour (ACH) can be used as a rough estimate for ventilation system sizing, but it’s not a direct correlation. ACH provides a general indication of the required ventilation rate, but it doesn’t account for factors like duct losses, fan efficiency, and heat gain/loss. To accurately size a ventilation system, you should perform detailed calculations considering these factors, as well as the specific requirements of your project.
