1. Conditioned space includes the basement and conditioned crawl spaces.
2. If conditioned space exceeds 6000 sq. ft. or there are more than 6 bedrooms, use Equation R403.5.2
R403.5.2 Total Ventilation rate.
The mechanical ventilation system shall rovide sufficient outdoor air to equal the total ventilation rate average
for each 1- hour period in accordance with Table R403.5.2, or Equation 403.5.2, based on the number of bedrooms and
square footage of conditioned space, including the basement and conditioned crawl spaces.
For the purposes of Table R403.5.2 and Section R403.5.3, the following applies:
a. Equation R403.5.2 Total ventilation rate:
Total ventilation rate (cfm) = (0.02 x square feet of conditioned space) + (15 x (number of bedrooms +1))
b. Equation R403.5.2.1 Continuous ventilation rate: Continuous ventilation rate (cfm) = Total ventiation rate/2

Residential Combustion Air Calculation Method
(for Furnace, Boiler, and/or Water Heater in the Same Space)
Step 1: Complete vented combution appliace information:
Furnace/Boiler:
Draft Hood Fan Assisted Direct Vent Input: Btu/hr
(Not fan Assisted) & Power Vent
Water Heater:
Draft Hood Fan Assisted Direct Vent Input: Btu/hr
( Not fan Assisted) & Power Vent
Step 2: Calculate the volume of the Combustion Appliance Space (CAS) containing combustion appliances.
The CAS includes all spaces connected to one another by code compliant openings. CAS volume: ft 3
Step 3: Determine air Changes per Hour (ACH) 1
Default ACH values have been incorporated into Table E-1 for use with Method 4b (KAIR Method). If the year of construction
or ACH is not known, use method 4a (Standard Method).
Step 4: Determine Required Volume for Combustion Air.
4a. Standard Method
Total Btu/hr input of all combustion appliances (DO NOT COUNT DIRECT VENT APPLIANCES) Input: Btu/hr
Use Standard Method column in Table E-1 to find Total Required Volume (TRV) TRV: ft 3
If CAS Volume (from Step 2) is greater than TRV then no outdoor openings are needed.
If CAS Volume (from Step 2) is less than TRV then go to STEP 5.
4b. Known Air Infiltration Rate (KAIR) Method
Total Btu/hr input of all fan-assisted and power vent appliances
(DO NOT COUNT DIRECT VENT APPLIANCES) Input: Btu/hr
Use Fan-Assisted Appliances column in Table E-1 to find
Required Volume Fan Assisted (RVFA) RVFA: ft 3
Total Btu/hr input of all non-fan-assisted appliances Input: Btu/hr
Use Non-Fan-Assisted Appliances column in Table E-1 to find
Required Volume Non-Fan-Assisted (RVNFA) RVNFA: ft 3
Total Required Volume (TRV) = RVFA + RVNFA TRV = + = ft 3
If CAS Volume (from Step 2) is greater than TRV then no outdoor openings are needed.
If CAS Volume (from Step 2) is less than TRV then go to STEP 5.
Step 5: Calculate the ratio of available interior volume to the total required volume.
Ratio = CAS Volume (from Step 2) divided by TRV (from Step 4a or Step 4b) Ratio =
Step 6: Calculate Reduction Factor (RF).
RF = 1 minus Ratio RF = - =
Step 7: Calculate single outdoor opening as if all combustion air is from outside.
Total Btu/hr input of all Combustion Appliances in the same CAS (EXCEPT DIRECT VENT) Input: Btu/hr
Combustion Air Opening Area (CAOA):
Total Btu/hr divided by 3000 Btu/hr per in 2 / Btu/hr per in2 = in 2
Step 8: Calculate Minimum CAOA.
Minimum CAOA = CAOA multiplied by RF Minimum CAOA = x = in 2
Step 9: Calculate Combustion Air Opening Diameter (CAOD)
CAOD = 1.13 multiplied by the square root of Minimum CAOA CAOD = 1.13 x Minimum CAOA = in
1If desired, ACH can be determined using ASHRAE calculation or blower door test. Follow procedures in Section 304.
CAOA =
