WARNING: Rework worksheet, adding the space of the adjoining unconfined space. The
combined spaces must have enough fresh air to supply all appliances in both spaces.
If the actual Btu/Hr used is less than the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support, the space is an
unconfined space. You will need no additional fresh air ventilation.
3. Add the Btu/Hr of all fuel burning appliances in the space.

*Do not include direct-vent gas appliances. Direct-vent draws combustion air from the outdoors and
vents to the outdoors.
4. Compare the maximum Btu/Hr the space can support with the actual amount of Btu/Hr used.
Btu/Hr (maximum the space can support)
Btu/Hr (actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
Example : 51,200 Btu/Hr(maximum the space can support)
56,000 Btu/Hr(actual amount of Btu/Hr used)
The space in the above example is a confined space because the actual Btu/Hr used is more than the
maximum Btu/Hr the space can support.
You must provide additional fresh air. Your options are as follows:
A. Rework worksheet, adding the space of an adjoining room. If the extra space provides an unconfined
space, remove door to adjoining room or add ventilation grills between rooms. See Ventilation Air From
Inside Building (below).
B. Vent room directly to the outdoors. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors (below) .
C. Install a lower Btu/Hr heater, if lower Btu/Hr size makes room unconfined.
Figure 2 -Ventilation Air from Inside Building
Example:
Gas water heater 30,000 Btu/Hr
Vent-free heater + 26,000 Btu/Hr
Total = 56,000 Btu/Hr
WARNING: If the area in which the heater may be operated is smaller than that defined
as an unconfined space or if the building is of unusually tight construction, provide adequate
combustion and ventilation air by one of the methods described in the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANS Z223.1, Section 5.3 or applicable local codes.
This fresh air would come from an adjoining uncon-
fined space. When ventilating to an adjoining
unconfined space, you must provide two perma-
nent openings: one within 12" of the ceiling and
one within 12" of the floor on the wall connecting
the two spaces (see options 1 and 2, Figure 2).
You can also remove door into adjoining room
(see option 3, Figure 2). Follow the National Fuel
Gas Code. NFPA 24/ANS Z223.1. Section 5.3, Air
for Combustion and Ventilation for required size of
ventilation grills or ducts.
Ventilation Air From lnside Building
Ventilation Air From Outdoors
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
floor. 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, NFPA 54/ANS Z223.1, 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.
