What This Calculator Does

The Room Volume Calculator computes the interior volume of a space in cubic feet and cubic yards. HVAC sizing, storage capacity, and ventilation planning all start with this measurement.

How It Works

Volume is length times width times height for a rectangular space. Cubic feet divide by 27 to become cubic yards, the unit most often used to order fill material.

Example

A room 12 x 10 x 8 feet holds 960 cubic feet, or about 35.6 cubic yards.

Formula

Room Volume
Volume = Length × Width × Height

Cubic yards = cu ft / 27.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate the volume of a room?

Multiply length by width by height in the same unit. A 12 x 10 x 8 foot room is 960 cubic feet.

Why do I need room volume?

Heating and cooling loads, fan sizing, and storage capacity all depend on volume rather than floor area.

How many cubic feet are in a cubic yard?

There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, so divide the cubic feet by 27 to convert.
