minimum cfm/sf 1

[swoosh172]

I'm looking for a good recommendation for minimum cooling airflow cfm/sf for several common areas in office buildings, specifically interior corridors, storage rooms, office rooms. I ran the load calc but interior corridors and storage rooms are coming out to be like .24 cfm/sf which seems really low and I feel likt it won't even make it out of the diffuser into the space. Is 0.5 cfm/sf minimum cooling airflow a good starting point for all areas?

It works out to roughly 3.75 ACH for an 8-ft ceiling, which seems to be slightly below the bare minimum of acceptable performance:
