1.If air is taken directly from outside the building with no duct, provide two permanent openings to the equipment room (see FIG. 1-3):

(a)Combustion air opening, with a minimum free area of one square inch per 4000 Btu/hr input (5.5 cm2 per kW). This opening must be located within 12" (30 cm) of the bottom of the enclosure.

(b)Ventilation air opening, with a minimum free area of one square inch per 4000 Btu/hr input (5.5 cm2 per kW). This opening must be located within 12" (30 cm) of the top of the enclosure.

4.If a single combustion air opening is provided to bring combustion air in directly from the outdoors, the opening must be sized based on a minimum free area of one square inch per 3000 Btu/hr (7 cm2 per kW). This opening must be located within 12" (30 cm) of the top of the enclosure (see FIG. 1-6).
