If there's omly a toilet, I design for 85 m3/hr. If it's a toilet/shower room, then 170.
 
the 'rule' is 3 to 5 times the room volume you want to keep dry (If there is no chemical contaminants evaporation that require a higher refresh rate to keep ppm's under the normal level identified in the MAK values).

You MUST be correct , but it must apply in your country (I suspect USA or Canada). The 'rule' I am referring to is for Germany and more generally european area's , where the refresh rates are linked to generated pollutions in the room , with a minimum of 30 to 50m3/h per person for offices and otherwise non contaminated areas , giving a rule of thumb of 3 to 5 refresh rates per hour per room volume for such area's.

I still learn everyday , great site to be able to learn what is also happening overseas with other engineers. . .
