The Airing-Out Kit
How long a smell takes to fade from a room: the air changes counted from your own fan, a target set as a fold and not a percent, the time allowed for a room that does not mix, the source stopped first, and the fan sized for the time you have
OdorTest's free tools each answer one question, and clearing a smell from a room asks them all at once. The Ventilation Dilution Calculator turns air changes per hour into a purge time, but nobody has that number at home; the fan in the window says CFM. Its default target, 10% remaining, sounds like done and is only a tenfold drop. And it assumes a perfectly mixed room with the source switched off. This kit puts the tools in order for one airing-out. It counts the room's air changes from a fan's label at 70% of its flow, sets the target as a fold using the Odor Concentration Calculator's bands, allows for a room that does not mix, stops the source first, and sizes the fan for the time you have, rounding every time and fan flow up. In the worked example, a 15 by 12 ft living room with a 400 CFM window fan, the label promises a thousandfold drop in 25 minutes; planned, it takes 51, and clearing it in half an hour needs a 680 CFM label. The 10% default leaves a D/T 500 smell 50 times over its threshold. Every figure is computed by the site's own calculators; the room, fans, smell and prices are examples, and the fan and mixing allowances are named rules of thumb. It times a smell and never says the air is safe: a gas smell means leave and call the gas company from outside, carbon monoxide has no smell so CO alarms are a must, and mold, sewer gas and chemical smells need a professional. Included: 23 printable pages with 7 steps, a room sheet, a fan sheet, an airing-out log, a reference table, and a personalised sheet worked from the numbers you enter in the calculators.
What’s inside
- The Air Changes Rule: a room's air changes per hour counted from a fan's label CFM, planned at 70% of it, with a closed-up room for comparison
- The Fold Rule: the target set as how many times weaker the smell must get, and why the calculator's 10% default is only a tenfold drop
- The Mixing Rule: the time allowed for a room that does not mix, and how to give the air a path
- The Source-First Rule: why fresh air only holds a running source to a level, and where the clearing clock starts
- The Round-Up Rule: the fan label flow a room needs for the time you have, with both allowances, rounded up
- The Fresh-Nose Rule: the airing-out checked with a nose that has been outside, and what it costs in heat
- The Not-a-Safety-Test Rule: gas, carbon monoxide, burning, mold, sewer gas and chemicals, and what not to add
- Three working pages: a room sheet, a fan sheet and an airing-out log with a before-you-start checklist
- An airing-out reference: minutes to 10, 100 and 1,000 times weaker by air changes, and fan flow by room size
- A personalised sheet worked from the figures you enter in the ventilation and odor concentration calculators
