Determine cubic feet of kitchen area for initial cubic feet of air movement recommended
Calculate additional cfm recommended based on the size and fuel type of cooking appliance
Design and measure the duct run and determine your EDL (Equivalent Duct Length)
Consider air capture of hood based on design and location of the hood.

Determine
CFMfor kitchen area
www.absairtech.in || www.abscleanroom.com || www.absventilation.com || www.abscoldroom.com
Let’s assume this kitchen is 9 FEET WIDE (X)10 FEET LONG (Y)with a ceiling height of 8 FEET TALL (Z)
1. Determine the cubic feet (CF) within the kitchenX x Y x Z = CF9 x 10 x 8 = 720
2. Multiply the CF by the recommended air changes per hour (ACH) for a kitchen (which is 15)720 x 15 = 10,800
3. Divide that number by 60 minutes10,800 ÷ 60 = 180 CFM

Add 100 cfm for every 10,000 BTU (British Thermal Unit) of heat produced on cooking surface.
EXAMPLE 6 burners x 15000 BTU each = 90000 BTU90k / 10k = 900 cfm
NOTE If the cook top has a grill or griddle, add 500 cfm for every 12” of each
6 burners x 15000 BTU each = 90000 BTU90k / 10k = 900 cfm
GAS COOKING
Add 100 cfm for every 10” of cooking surface.
EXAMPLE On a 36” induction cook top36/10 x 100cfm = 360 cfm
On a 36” induction cook top36/10 x 100cfm = 360 cfm

Calculate
EDLEquivalent Duct Length
DEDUCT 1 cfm for every foot of duct run PLUS 20 cfm for every elbow PLUS 30 cfm for the wall cap
EXAMPLE A duct run is 20’ with two 90 degree elbows (radius turns) and one 45 degree elbow ending at the wall cap. Calculation:20 cfm + 60 cfm + 30 cfm = 110 cfm (EDL or Equivalent Duct Length). This should be added to the previously determined amounts for the total requirement for the hood.
20 cfm + 60 cfm + 30 cfm = 110 cfm

Variablesto Consider
when Making theFinal Selection
www.absairtech.in || www.abscleanroom.com || www.absventilation.com || www.abscoldroom.com
Location of cooking surface – wall or island. Consider increasing coverage for an island hood.
Cooking appliance manufacturer recommendations for ventilation.
Hood manufactures required distance from cooking surface.
Ceiling height and mounting options.
www.absairtech.in || www.abscleanroom.com || www.absventilation.com || www.abscoldroom.com
Width and depth of cooking surface
Design of hood chosen and depth of hood sump.
Type of blower –internal, in line or external remote blower.
Noise level of selected hood on lowest speed and highest speed.

Hood lighting and “Green Features”
Only use downdraft ventilation when recommended by the manufacturer. Only 2 manufacturers of pro style ranges and range tops approve their own downdraft products for select models.

Make Up Air

2012 IRC CODES REGARDING MAKE UP AIR
Makeup air requirements associated with vented kitchen range hoods:(IRC M1503.4, M1501.2, G2447.6)
Three code provisions can trigger the need for makeup air in this situation. The bottom line is that makeup air is always required for high-volume hoods (> 400 cfm) and may be required for lower volume hoods when natural-draft appliances are used.
M1503.4 requires makeup air for kitchen hoods which exhaust more than 400 cfm. The makeup airflow rate must equal the exhaust flow rate and an intake damper on the makeup air duct must be interlocked with the control for the fan.
M1501.2 requires that “ducted exhaust systems” (such as kitchen hoods, bath fans, clothes dryers) not induce negative pressure in excess of negative 3 Pascal's at the location of a natural draft combustion appliance. This provision applies regardless of the rated airflow of the exhaust system.
G2447.6 reinforces M1501.2, more explicitly for vented kitchen hoods. This provision is independent of the rated airflow through the hood.
A pressure test is required to demonstrate that the depressurization level is within the 3 Pascal limit. If the depressurization limit is exceeded, makeup air is one potential solution.
There is no requirement to temper makeup air.
REASONS TO HAVE MAKE UP AIR•Recommended by hood manufacturer•HEALTH - Carbon Monoxide, contaminants•SAFETY - fireplace ambers•Avoiding negative air pressure•Local building codes

Verify the dampers operate properly.
Do not oversize the exhaust fan
