Vazão ar por ocupante

The airflow per occupant calculator helps determine the required airflow for proper ventilation in indoor spaces, based on the number of people present. The formula used is Q = n·q_unit, where Q is total airflow, n is the number of occupants, and q_unit is the minimum airflow per person according to technical standards. This calculation is crucial to ensure thermal comfort, air quality, and prevent pollutant accumulation in enclosed areas.

To use the tool, input the number of people who will simultaneously occupy the space and refer to applicable standards (like ASHRAE) to define the q_unit value. For example, an office with 8 people and a q_unit of 30 L/s each requires a total airflow of 240 L/s. The calculator simplifies the sizing of HVAC and exhaust systems, avoiding over- or under-sizing.

Note that q_unit varies depending on the type of activity (sedentary, light, or intense) and location (residential, commercial, or industrial). The tool does not replace analysis of factors like room volume, air exchange rate, or local climate conditions. Always consult a professional for fine-tuning HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) projects.
