Furnace located in unconfined space
An unconfined space must have a volume of a minimum 50
cubic feet per 1,000 BTU/hr. of the total combined input of
all appliances in the area. Adjoining rooms may be included
only if there are no doors between the rooms or if special
provisions are made such as ventilation grilles installed
between connecting rooms. Figure 4 outlines the minimum
area in square feet, based on 8-foot ceiling heights for various
BTU/hr. input ratings.

Furnace located in confined space
If a furnace is installed in a confined space, it must be
provided with free air for proper combustion and ventilation
of flue gases by one of the following methods:
A. Air From Inside the Building
If the confined space adjoins an unconfined space, provide
two permanent openings. One within 12-inches of the top
and another within 12-inches of the bottom of the room
directly connected to the unconfined space. Each opening
must have a free area of at least 100-square inches or 1-square
inch per 1,000 BTU/hr. of input for all appliances combined.
WARNING: Danger of property damage, bodily injury
or death. The adjoining unconfined space must have
adequate air infiltration.
B. Air From Outdoors
If confined space does not adjoin an unconfined space, then
air must be provided from outdoors or spaces open to the
outdoors such as an attic or crawl spaces.
Openings for inlet or outlet air should NOT be made into an
attic area if the attic is equipped with a thermostat controlled
power vent.
Provide two permanent openings, one within 12-inches of
the top and bottom of the room connecting directly to, or by
using ducts, with the outdoors or areas open to fresh air.
If the opening connects directly to, or with vertical ducts, the free
area of each opening must be at least 1-square inch per 4,000
BTU/hr. of the combined input of all appliances in the area.
If horizontal ducts are used, the free area of each opening
must be at least 1-square inch per 2,000 BTU/hr. of the
combined input of all appliances in the area.
