Class 1: Slow Rate of Evaporation – (least amount of water absorption and evaporation load): Water intrusion where low porosity materials (e.g., hard surface flooring, plaster, concrete) or medium porosity materials (e.g., structural framing, wood substrates) have absorbed minimal moisture; less than 5% of the combined floor, wall and ceiling surface area in the space is wet, highly porous material (e.g., carpet, gypsum wallboard).
Class 2: Fast Rate of Evaporation – (significant amount of water absorption and evaporation load): Water intrusion where wet, highly porous materials (e.g., carpet, gypsum wallboard) represent more than 5%, but less than 50% of the combined floor, wall and ceiling surface area in the space.
Class 3: Fastest Rate of Evaporation – (greatest amount of water absorption and evaporation load): Water intrusion where wet, highly porous materials (e.g., carpet, gypsum wallboard) represent more than 50% of the combined floor, wall and ceiling surface area in the space.
Class 4: Specialty Drying Situations – (deeply held or bound water): a water intrusion that involves a significant amount of water and absorption into low porosity materials (e.g., hard surface flooring, plaster, concrete) or assemblies (e.g., gym floors, structural cavities, multiple layers of gypsum wallboard) that have a low rate of evaporation due to deeply held or bound water. Drying may require special methods, longer drying times, or substantial vapor pressure differentials.

Step 3: Determine the proper division factorThe division factor is determined by the class of water damage and the type of dehumidifier used.
Step 4: Determine pints of dehumidification needed per dayPints needed per day = Cubic Feet of Affected Area (from Step 1 above)
Division Factor (from Step 3 above)Step 5: Determine dehumidifier’s rated performance at AHAM (80° F/60% RH)
Step 6: Determine number of dehumidifiers requiredNumber of dehumidifiers required = Pints of Dehumidification Needed Per Day (from Step 4 above)

Step 1: Determine the cubic feet of the air volume to be scrubbed
Cubic Feet of Air Volume = (width) x (length) x (height) = (square footage of area) x (height of ceiling)
Step 2: Multiply cubic feetMultiply cubic feet (from Step 1 above) by the desired amount of air changes per hour to get cubic feet per Hour.
The Restoration Industry Standards recommend at least 4 air changes per hour.
Cubic Feet per Hour = (Cubic Feet) x (Number of Air Changes per Hour)
Step 3: Divide cubic feet per hour by 60 to get cubic feet per minuteCubic Feet per Minute = (Cubic Feet per Hour)

Phoenix Guardian HEPA SystemHEPA Filter Performance Chart
HEPA: High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter
Relative percentage amount and size of particles in the air.
Each filter is individually quality controlled and labeled with build date, lot run, test date, and inspector number.
Each filter is tested using DOP penetration tests to measure the percentage of particles that pen-etrate the media. If penetration is above 0.030%, the filter does not qualify as a HEPA filter and does not receive the DOP label.
The Guardian HEPA filter is a V-Bank design with over 170 square feet of HEPA media.(Guardian HEPA Filter P/N 4023244)
