Can anyone help please..
I'm trying to work out if this cooker has the required ventilation...kitchen has openable doors and windows witch is fine but there has been a conservatory build around the kitchen i.e around the door and windows.
I have a few documents about this but I can't seem the make sense of it all..please could someone explain this in simple terms..
"In the event that a conservatory is added to a building the general ventilation rate for the conservatory and where necessary the kitchen behind, may achieved by the use of background ventilators in the following manner:
1. There is from the conservatory to outside provision for both:
a). Purge ventilation with a total area based on a minimum of 1/20th the total floor area of the kitchen and conservatory and
b). Background ventilation of at least 8000mm2 (80cm2) and
2. There are openings which (must be closable) between the kitchen and conservatory for:
a). Purge ventilation equivalent to 1(a) above, and
b). Background ventilator of equivalent to 1(a) above and be located at least 1.7m above the floor.
The above method of providing ventilation to the kitchen through the conservatory will satisfy the requirement of BS 5440 (Clause 6.4) where there is no openable window (purge ventilation) direct to outside air.
