What Is Ach50

Air Change per Hour at 50 Pa (ACH50) is calculated by multiplying CFM50 by 60 to get air flow per hour, and dividing the result by the volume of the building. ACH50 tells us how many times per hour the entire volume of air in the building is replaced when the building envelope is subjected to a 50 Pascal pressure.
