FFGC-Indoor Combustion Air: Requirements and Calculations


Listen Later

These regulations outline the technical requirements for ensuring that indoor appliances have sufficient combustion air to operate safely. The guidelines provide two primary methods for calculating the necessary room volume, which are determined by the heat input of the equipment and the airtightness of the building. If a structure is particularly well-sealed with low infiltration rates, specific mathematical equations must be used to account for the reduced airflow. Furthermore, multiple rooms can be treated as a single space if they are connected by permanent openings without doors. Ultimately, these standards ensure that fuel-burning devices do not exhaust the available oxygen within a confined environment.
