  • Page 18: Stale Air Return System

    . Stale Air Return System The stale air return system is used to extract humid, stale air from the areas of the dwelling where the worst air quality conditions might exist. These may include areas such as laundry rooms, bathrooms and kitchens. Note that C.S.A. Standard F326 requires that air be exhausted from each room with a forced air furnace.
