701.0 Air for Combustion and Ventilation
701.1 General.
701.1.1. Air for combustion, ventilation, and dilution of flue gases for gas utilization
equipment installed in buildings shall be obtained by application of one of the methods
covered in Sections 701.2 through 701.8.3. The exceptions are as stated. This
provision shall not apply to direct-vent appliances. Type 1 clothes dryers that are
provided with makeup air in accordance with Section 504.3.2.
701.1.2. Gas appliances of other than natural draft design and Category I shall be
provided with combustion, ventilation, and dilution air in accordance with the appliance
manufacturer's instructions.
701.1.3. A draft hood or a barometric draft regulator shall be installed in the same room
or enclosure as the equipment is served to prevent any pressure differences between
the equipments.
701.1.4. Makeup air requirements for the operation of exhaust fans, kitchen ventilation
systems, clothes dryers, and fireplaces shall be considered in determining the
adequacy of a space to provide combustion-air requirements.
701.2 INDOOR COMBUSTION AIR. The required volume of indoor air shall be
determined in accordance with the method in section 701.2.1 or 701.2.1.1, except that
where the air infiltration rate is known to be less than 0.40 ACH, the method in Section
701.2.1.1 shall be used. . The total required volume shall be the sum of the required
volume calculated for all appliances located within the space.
