MERV Calculations #11

Closed kawesomekhan closed 4 years ago

Double-check the MERV calculations - specifically, going from MERV number to aerosol filtration efficiency, and update the code if necessary. I'm currently using a table from https://www.lakeair.com/merv-rating-explanation/. If there is more rigorous information available, however, that would probably be better.

So it turns out this is the same table as the official ASHRAE MERV study, shown here: https://ashrae.iwrapper.com/ASHRAE_PREVIEW_ONLY_STANDARDS/STD_52.2_2017.
