I've been given a arch plan with different types of bathroom arrangements. If I have same area of ventilation( ie volume) but instead of having one toilet I had three in other area, will my CFM different for each types of toilets? What is the rules of thumbs to calculate cfm (l/s) with different basin number?

Thanks

What code are you designing to? Int'l Mechanical code requires 25/50/70 CFM per fixture depending on several factors, refer to your copy of the code for the factors and how they apply.

Do 2 calculations, one based on code minimum, and Willard's 10 ACH. Use the higher of the 2.
 
Per ASHRAE standard 62.1

For Private use: 25 cfm per water closet and/or urinal (normal use)​
For Private use: 50 cfm per water closet and/or urinal (heavy use)​
For Public use: 50 cfm per water closet and/or urinal (normal use)​
For Public use: 70 cfm per water closet and/or urinal (heavy use)​
