Room Volume Calculator

Heating, extract fans and dehumidifiers are all sized from one number: how much air the room holds.

How it works

Volume is length x width x ceiling height. The result is shown in m3, cubic feet and litres; pair it with the radiator BTU or ventilation calculators to size equipment.

Frequently asked questions

What ceiling height should I use?

Measure floor to ceiling in the main space - UK rooms are typically 2.3-2.4 m. For sloped ceilings, use the average height across the floor area.

Why do heating engineers ask for room volume?

Heat demand scales with the air you warm: a 2.4 m ceiling room and a 3.5 m Victorian one with the same floor area need very different radiators.
