What is the difference between infiltration rate and air exchange rate?

The infiltration rate refers to the volumetric flow rate of outside air into a building, typically measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM) or liters per second (LPS). On the other hand, the air exchange rate (I) is the number of interior volume air changes that occur per hour, and has units of 1/h. While infiltration rate measures the flow rate of outside air, air exchange rate measures the frequency of air changes within the building.
