Ventilation & Airflow API
Ventilation and airflow maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The air-changes endpoint relates the air changes per hour, the airflow in CFM and the room volume — ACH = CFM × 60 ÷ volume — and solves whichever you leave out (the volume can be given directly or as length × width × height), reporting the airflow in cubic metres per hour too. The required-cfm endpoint applies the ASHRAE 62.1 breathing-zone rule, outdoor airflow = people × Rp + floor area × Ra, with sensible office defaults (5 CFM per person and 0.06 CFM per square foot), to size the fresh-air a space needs. The duct-velocity endpoint computes the air velocity in a round or rectangular duct from the flow and the duct size, V = CFM ÷ area, in feet per minute, metres per second and miles per hour, with guidance on whether it is in the quiet residential or noisier high-velocity range. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for HVAC, building-services, indoor-air-quality and facilities app developers, ventilation-sizing and duct-design tools, and engineering education. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is ventilation and airflow; for heating and cooling load sizing use an HVAC API.
