Example
You enter
- Affected area (ft²) 600
- Water class 2
You get
- Air mover count 6
- Ft2 per unit 100
- Total CFM 15000
- Cfm per (ft²) 25
- Placement pattern corners + perimeter
Details, formula, and sources
Number of air movers = max(area / 150 ft² per AM, perimeter / 12 ft per AM) per IICRC S500-2021 placement guidance (one AM per 150-300 ft² of affected floor, every 10-16 linear ft of wet wall).
IICRC S500-2021 §10 (Equipment) and §12 (Drying Process) by name.
