5. Does ASHRAE 62.2-2007 – “Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor
Air Quality in Low-Rise Residential Buildings” – require the use
of a make-up air damper?
ASHRAE 62.2-2007 does not specifically require make-up air dampers.
In a few limited circumstances, this standard does require that net
exhaust flows from a house be limited. For example, Section 6.4 of the
standard limits the net exhaust flow from a home’s two largest exhaust
appliances if the home has atmospherically vented or solid-fuel burning
appliances located within the pressure boundary of the house.
6. Can I use the Broan Automatic Make-Up Air Damper with other
equipment in my home?
No. The Broan Automatic Make-Up Air Damper may only be used with
compatible BEST, Broan Elite or Broan range hoods. More information
on exact models of the Damper and compatible exhaust devices can be
found in the Broan Automatic Make-Up Air Damper Application Guide.
7. What are the different ways that the Damper can be installed in
my home?
The most common way to install the Damper is to connect it to a home’s
central duct system. In this application, outside fresh air enters the
home through the Damper and is then routed and distributed
through the home’s ducts.
8. What if my home doesn’t have ducts?
Homes without ducts can still utilize the Damper to help replace air which
is exhausted from the home by the range hood.
9. What happens after a power outage?
The Damper system and the associated exhaust devices will not lose
their settings following a power outage. So the system will resume its
normal operation following a power outage, based on the settings it used
prior to the outage.
