The result is a room-volume planning target
The calculator multiplies floor area by ceiling height, then converts a five-air-changes-per-hour planning goal into cubic feet per minute. It does not measure the purifier's delivered airflow in the actual furnished room.
Compare CADR, not a maximum-room headline
Use a current smoke CADR or another clearly defined clean-air delivery figure when screening purifiers. Open doors, high ceilings, furniture, filter loading, fan speed, noise tolerance, and room leakage can reduce the effective result.
Remove odor and hair at the source
An air purifier can support airborne particle control, but litter, urine, damp fabric, bedding, visible hair, and ventilation problems still need scooping, washing, vacuuming, drying, and source correction.
