Today’s homes are built more energy efficient than ever. New materials, increased insulation, and new construction methods help reduce heat loss in homes. Home owners weather strip and caulk around windows and doors to keep the cold air out and the warm air in. During heating months, home owners want their homes as airtight as possible.
While it is good to make your home energy effi- cient, your home needs to breathe. Fresh air must enter your home. All
Exhaust fans, fireplaces, clothes dryers, and fuel burning appliances draw air from the house to operate. You must provide adequate fresh air for these appliances. This will insure proper venting of vented
PROVIDING ADEQUATE
VENTILATION
The following are excerpts from National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventilation.
All spaces in homes fall into one of the three fol- lowing ventilation classifications:
1.Unusually Tight Construction
2.Unconfined Space
3.Confined Space
The information on pages 6 through 8 will help you classify your space and provide adequate ven- tilation.
Unusually Tight Construction
The air that leaks around doors and windows may provide enough fresh air for combustion and ven- tilation. However, in buildings of unusually tight construction, you must provide additional fresh air. Unusually tight construction is defined as con- struction where:
a.walls and ceilings exposed to the out- side atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of one perm (6 x
b.weather stripping has been added on openable windows and doors and
c.caulking or sealants are applied to ar- eas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and floors, between
If your home meets all of the three criteria above, you must provide additional fresh air. See Ventilation Air From Outdoors, page 8.
If your home does not meet all of the three criteria above, proceed to Determining
