How to convert CFM load to CFM based on volume of space

When I'm running Heating and Cooling load Analysis for a Commercial building or a house, Revit calculates the CFM based on load, I need Revit to calculate the CFM based on volume. 

How can I have Revit convert the CFM load to CFM based on volume?

Hi Iceman. Revit computes CFM based on volume. If you select the space after the computation you will see the units is L/s and same if you look at the report. Apology if I didn't get your question.

goodrichard_21 what is L/s? So I know what I'm looking for when I click on the space after the calculation.

 

Thanks

Hi. L/s is Liter/s per second. It is a unit of airflow. Please see attached image for your reference. Thanks.

Hi iceman. Your units is CFM which is unit also of airflow. If you want to change that to Liters per second or L/s, you type UN to open the Units dialog box. From this box, look for Mechanical, then change the airflow units to L/s.
