air change rate

airflow in volume units per hour divided by the building space volume in identical volume units [normally expressed in air changes per hour (ACH or ACPH)]. Mean air change rate over a specific period can be measured using ASTM E 741-83, “Test Method for Determining Air Leakage Rate by Tracer Dilution.” See also ventilating rate.
