Frequently Asked Questions

At what CFM do you need make-up air?

As a general rule, a makeup air system is required when your exhaust system moves 400 CFM or more, though NYC mechanical codes may require it at lower thresholds for commercial kitchens. The exact CFM needed equals the total exhaust volume to maintain neutral or slight positive building pressure. Denair HVAC performs load calculations to determine the precise makeup air CFM for your specific facility and exhaust configuration.
