4. Combination of Indoor and Outdoor Air shall have:
a. Indoor openings that comply with the Indoor Combus-
tion Air Method below and
Outdoor openings located as required in the Outdoor
Combustion air Method above and
Outdoor openings sized as follows.
1) Calculate the Ratio of all Indoor Space volume divid-
ed by required volume for Indoor Combustion Air Meth-
od. Outdoor openings sized as follows.
2) Outdoor opening size reduction Factor is I minus the
Ratio in 1) above.
3) Minimum size of Outdoor openings shall be the size
required in Outdoor Combustion Air Method above
multiplied by reduction Factor.

Indoor Combustion Air
Standard and Known-Air-Infiltration Rate Methods
© NFPA &AGA
Indoor air is permitted for combustion and ventilation, if the
Standard or Known-air-lnfiltration Rate Method is used,
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING HAZARD.
Failure to supply adequate combustion air could
result in death or personal injury.
Most homes will require additional air from outdoors
for combustion and ventilation. A space with at least
50 cubic feet per 1,OOOBTUH input rating or homes
with tight construction may need outdoor air to
supplement air infiltration for proper combustion
and ventilation of flue gases.
