Provide the space with sufficient air for proper combus-tion, ventilation, and dilution of flue gases using perman-ent horizontal or vertical duct(s) or opening(s) directlycommunicating with the outdoors or spaces that freelycommunicate with the outdoors.2. Fig. 7 illustrates how to provide TWO OUTDOOROPENINGS, one inlet and one outlet combustion andventilation air opening, to the outdoors.e. One opening MUST commence within 12 in. (300mm) of the ceiling and the second opening MUSTcommence within 12 in. (300 mm) of the floor.f. Size openings and ducts per Fig. 7 and Table 2.g. TWO HORIZONTAL DUCTS require 1 sq. in. (645sq. mm) of free area per 2,000 Btuh (1,100 mm 2/kW)of combined input for all gas appliances in the spaceper Fig. 7 and Table 2.h. TWO OPENINGS OR VERTICAL DUCTS require 1sq. in. (645 sq. mm) of free area per 4,000 Btuh (550mm 2/kW) for combined input of all gas appliances inthe space per Fig. 7 and Table 2.3. ONE OUTDOOR OPENING requires:a. 1 sq. in. (645 sq. mm) of free area per 3,000 Btuh(734 mm 2 /kW) for combined input of all gas appli-ances in the space per Table 2 andb. Not less than the sum of the areas of all vent connect-ors in the space.CIRCULATING AIRDUCTS6" MIN(FRONT)ÜCIRCULATING AIR DUCTSVENT THROUGH ROOF1 SQ IN.PER 1000BTUH* IN DOOROR WALL12" MAX1 SQ IN.PER 1000BTUH* IN DOOROR WALL12" MAXUNCONFINEDSPACEINTERIORHEATEDSPACECLEARANCE IN FRONT OF COMBUSTION AIROPENINGS SHALL BE AT LEAST 3 IN.(305mm)(152mm)(305mm)* Minimum opening size is 100 sq in.

WARNINGThe Standard Method:1. The space has no less volume than 50 cubic feet per 1,000Btuh of the maximum input ratings for all gas appliancesinstalled in the space and2. The air infiltration rate is not known to be less than 0.40air changes per hour (ACH).The Known Air Infiltration Rate Method shall be used, if theinfiltration rate is known to be:1. Less than 0.40 ACH and2. Equal to or greater than 0.10 ACH58CV
