4 - VENTILATION & COMBUSTION AIR

Provide combustion air and ventilation air in accordance 

with the section “Air for Combustion and Ventilation,” of 

the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 / NFPA 54, or 

applicable provisions of local building codes. 
Provide make-up air where exhaust fans, clothes dryers, 

and kitchen ventilation equipment interfere with proper 

operation.
National Fuel Gas Code recognizes several methods 

of obtaining adequate ventilation and combustion air.  

Requirements of the authority having jurisdiction may 

override these methods.

• 

Engineered Installations

.  Must be approved by 

authority having jurisdiction.

• 

Mechanical Air Supply

.  Provide minimum of 

0.35 cfm per Mbh for all appliances located within 

space.  Additional requirements where exhaust fans 

installed.  Interlock each appliance to mechanical air 

supply system to prevent main burner operation when 

mechanical air supply system not operating.

• 

All Indoor Air

.  Calculate minimum volume for all 

appliances in space.  Use a different method if minimum 

volume not available.

A.  Standard Method.

  Cannot be used if known air 

infiltration rate is less than 0.40 air changes per 

hour.  See Table 1 for space with boiler only.  Use 

equation for multiple appliances.

Volume ≥ 50 ft

3

 x Total Input [Mbh]

B. 

Known Air Infiltration Rate. 

 See Table 1 for 

space with boiler only.  Use equation for multiple 

appliances.  Do not use an air infiltration rate 

(ACH) greater than 0.60.

Volume ≥

 

21 ft

3

⁄ACH x Total Input [Mbh] 

     

C.  Refer to National Fuel Gas Code

 for opening 

requirements between connected indoor spaces.

• 

All Outdoor Air.

  Provide permanent opening(s) 

communicating directly or by ducts with outdoors.

A.  Two Permanent Opening Method

.  Provide 

opening commencing within 12 inches of top and 

second opening commencing within 12 inches of 

bottom of enclosure.

 

…

Direct communication with outdoors or 

communicating through vertical ducts. Provide 

minimum free area of 1 in² per 4 Mbh of total 

input rating of all appliances in enclosure.

 

…

Communicating through horizontal ducts.  

Provide minimum free area of 1 in² per 2 

Mbh of total input rating of all appliances in 

enclosure.

B.  One Permanent Opening Method

.  Provide 

opening commencing within 12 inches of top of 

enclosure.  Provide minimum clearance of 1 inch on 

sides/back and 6 inches on front of boiler (does not 

supersede clearance to combustible materials).

C.  Refer to National Fuel Gas Code

 for additional 

requirements for louvers, grilles, screens and air 

ducts.

• 

Combination Indoor and Outdoor Air.

  Refer to 

National Fuel Gas Code for application information.
