As we know that bathroom exhaust fans is necessary for our circulation of air in bathroom. This kind of ventilation fan should be appropriate to the size of the bathroom. The larger size of your bathroom it need bigger energy of air flow in our exhaust fan. The parameter is called CFM which is stand for cubic feet per minute (cubic feet/min).

There are three method to calculate the number of CFM we need in our room. The first is by the manual calculating by sizing the height, width and length of the room.

After that the result should be multiplied by the number of height/ceiling of your room. Then you get the size of an air flow. For example, your bathroom have 15 long X 10 wide X 6 ceiling = 900 cubic feet.  Then, the result is (900/60) x 6 (ceiling) = 90 CFM.

The second is by using the guidelines of HVI (Home Ventilating Institute) which is stated about  the under 100 square feet for bathroom. The under 100 square feet need minimum of 50 CFM. Therefore, if you have the bigger size, you need to install a bathroom exhaust fan over the 50 CFM.
