Displaced air cannot renew itself and this can lead to many health and safety problems all round. Negative air can cause a backdraft down a flue which can start a fire or emit carbon monoxide fumes which are highly dangerous.

For home use, cooker hoods cannot have a CFM (cubic feet per minute) higher than 399 to be compliant with the code. Special sized ducting must be used to be compliant with the code. Round ducting with as few 90degree bends as possible should be 6 round, or 3.25x10 for the rectangle. Bends in the ducting will restrict air. For restaurants and professional cooking ranges an 8-10 width is recommended.

What is makeup air and how does it impact on the health and well-being of people using kitchens and other areas that need adequate ventilation? Most buildings are sealed off from allowing natural air to freely ventilate where it is needed most. Makeup air is defined as fresh outside air brought into a building through ventilation ducts for heating or cooling systems.

The equipment needed to be compliant is not rocket science, it consists of a damper wired to a universal pressure regulator and a wall cap that allows air in. The regulator opens and closes the damper and works with the ventilation in the cooker hood. So it starts and stops with the cooker hood turned on, all of this is controlled by the wall cap.

Broan manufactures and supplies these three very inexpensive tools: A direct wired damper MD6T and MD8T, Universal Pressure dampers MD6TU and MD8TU, and Fresh Air Wall Caps 641FA and 643FA at a cost of around $300. If you are a handy-man you could sort it out yourself.

To be compliant it might be simpler to get an expert in as the repair has to fit the code and to work out how much air is being exhausted too as in pre-builts the ducting is sometimes in difficult to reach places, and with makeup air equipment making sure you are compliant to this code.

For home, manufacturing or professional use, your airflow exhausted must be replaced and this is not a difficult job if you realise that it only takes a few small parts added to your ducting system to allow for the displaced air to be replaced at the same time you are using the ventilation system already in use. The equipment mentioned here is readily available at hardware suppliers and electrical outlets.
