For the last several years, codes and standards have required Make-Up air for domestic range hoods with exhaust rates that exceed a certain limit.* This Range Hood Make-Up Air Specifier assists building professionals with sizing and specifying Make-Up air systems for Broan, NuTone, or BEST domestic range hood applications that are in compliance with codes and standards that are adopted at the state level.
*The International Residential Code Section M1503.4 and the International Mechanical Code Section 505.2 require Make-Up air for all domestic range hoods in excess of 400 cfm.

Always check with your jurisdiction for specific Make-Up air requirements and code amendments that are applicable in your area.
