Air exchange rate in m3/h using Maas' formula:
413+
414+
$\rm \dot{Q} = 3600 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot A_{eff} \cdot \sqrt{(C_1 \cdot u^2 + C_2 \cdot H \cdot \Delta \vartheta + C_3)}$
415+
416+
Where:
417+
1. $\rm A_{eff}$: the effective opening area in $\rm m^2$
418+
2. $\rm u$: the outdoor wind speed in m/s
419+
3. $\rm H$: the height of the window sash in m
420+
4. $\rm C_1$: coefficient, $\rm = 0.0056$
421+
5. $\rm C_2$: coefficient, $\rm = 0.0037$
422+
6. $\rm C_3$: coefficient, $\rm = 0.012$
423+
7. $\rm \Delta \vartheta$: the temperature difference between the inside and outside in K
