qualified personnel in accordance with all applicable codes
and standards, including fire-rated construction codes and
standards.

4. Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and exhausting

of gases through the flue (chimney) of fuel burning equipment
to prevent backdrafting. Follow the heating equipment
manufacturer’s guidelines and safety standards such as
those published by the National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA), the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration
and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local
code authorities.
