Bathroom Exhaust Fans CODE for Baths without bathing or spas: • 3 SF Glazing ½ Operable or • Baths 75SF or less - 50 CFM Fan or • Over 75 SF – Intermittent Ventilation System 1 air change every 12 minutes or • Continuous Ventilation System at 20 CFM
Bathroom Exhaust Fans Baths with bathing and spas 50 CFM Intermittent or 20 CFM Continuous
Kitchen Ventilation Considerations Fan Type • Propeller Fan – Limited air capacity and noisy • Axial Fan – Better air movement but still noisy • Centrifugal Blower (Squirrel Cage) The best
Sound Levels • Sound is measured in Sones • 1-Sone equals the loudness of a pure tone having a frequency of 1,000 hertz at 40 decibels.
Decibels • 0 The softest sound a person can hear with normal hearing • 10 normal breathing • 20 whispering at 5 feet • 30 soft whisper • 50 rainfall • 60 normal conversation • 110 shouting in ear • 120 thunder
Sones • The Home Ventilation Institute sets a limit of 9.0 sones for kitchen fans up to 500 CFM • Reference – A fan with a sone rating of 8.0 sones is twice as loud as one rated at 4.0 sones. • Reference - Refrigerators run at about 1.0 sone.
Kitchen Exhaust Fans CODE 100 CFM Intermittent Or 25 CFM Continuous
Kitchen Ventilation • Heat • Grease • Steam • Odor • Smoke
Recirculating Ventilation System • This type of system will only remove two • Heat • Steam
Kitchen Ventilation Considerations • Fan – 250 CFM minimum • Ducts • Duct run lengths • Interior Fan (power) • Keep duct runs as short and straight as possible. • 6” round or 3 ¼” x 10 rectangular ducts • Maximum run = 25’ maximum
Kitchen Ventilation Considerations • Exterior or In-Line Fan (power) • 9” round or 3 ¼” x 14” rectangular duct • Maximum run = 55’ maximum
