For a given building located in Albany, New York the winter balance point temperature is 33.5F and the winter design temperature can be found in Table B.1 (see link below).  If the building has a UAtotal = of 3,753 Btu/(h*F), what volumetric flow rate of air is needed to adequately heat the building with a forced air system?  Provide your answer in cubic feet per minute as an integer.  Do not write units in your answer.
