The space in the example is a conned space because
the actual Btu/Hr used is more than the maximum
Btu/Hr the space can support. You must provide ad-
ditional fresh air. Your options are as follows:
A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoin-
ing room. If the extra space provides an unconned
space, remove door to adjoining room or add
ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation
Air From Inside Building.
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventila-
tion Air From Outdoors.
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr replace, if lower Btu/Hr
size makes room unconned.
If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr
the space can support, the space is an unconned space.
You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.
WARNING: If the area in which
in the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 Section 5.3
This fresh air would come from an adjoining un-
conned space. When ventilating to an adjoining
unconned space, you must provide two permanent
openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and one
within 12" of the oor on the wall connecting the
two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Figure 4). You
can also remove door into adjoining room (see
option 3, Figure 4). Follow the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for
Combustion and Ventilation for required size of
ventilation grills or ducts.
AIR FOR COMBUSTION
AND VENTILATION
Continued
Provide extra fresh air by using ventilation grills or
ducts. You must provide two permanent openings:
one within 12" of the ceiling and one within 12"
of the oor. Connect these items directly to the
outdoors or spaces open to the outdoors. These
spaces include attics and crawl spaces. Follow the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54,
Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation for
required size of ventilation grills or ducts.
IMPORTANT: Do not provide openings for inlet
or outlet air into attic if attic has a thermostat-
controlled power vent. Heated air entering the attic
will activate the power vent.
