John:
There is no such thing in SI as liquid and
dry measures for volumes. A cubic meter is the same whether you're measuring
water, sand, natural gas or pig manure. In other words, if you have a container
having a volume of 1 cubic meter, it doesn't matter what you put in it. If you
fill it, you have one cubic meter of whatever it is (as long as it will conform
to the shape of the container and leave no gaps).
A room is, of course, a container. Unless
there's something seriously wrong with your environment, a 27 cubic meter room
(for example) will, if unfurnished and unoccupied, contain 27 cubic meters of
air.
