Stoichiometric or theoretical complete combustion requires 10 cubic feet of air per 1000 BTUH input of the gas input. The National Fuel Gas Code also recommends an additional 2.5 cu.ft. of "excess" air. This 12.5 cu.ft minimum supply air per 1000 BTUH input applies to natural and propane gas models.

The National Fuel Gas Code also specifies minimum make-up air opening sizes for various building installations. (Ref: NFPA 54, ANSI Z223.1, sec 5.3)
