a room well aired, we must take into account the number of lights
(electric lights do not count) to be used, and the number of people to
occupy the room. The average house should provide at the _minimum_ 600
cubic feet of space for each person, and in addition, arrangements for
allowing at least 300 cubic feet of fresh air per person to enter
every hour.
