ventilation

[martysparky]

Is a cooker hood with external ventilation through the wall adequate ventilation for the kitchen?

I'm pretty sure it would be fine if there was no ventilation and then added this way.

But would it be enough for a new build?

Kitchen is 30 litres per second adjacent to hob and 60 lites per second elsewhere

Hope that helps

Had a look at guide to building regs its on page 131 if you have a copy. Just says adjacent to hob dosent mention gas or electic.

make sure the boiler aint gonna be located in the kitchen, OFTEC specify no more than 40litres if there is an oil firing appliance in the room

If I recall correctly the table is on one page and if you flip the page its in the text on the next page. I think its either OSG or EG page after table 1

This question came up in my Part P exam.

I have just looked at the guides but can't find it, it is in my notes though.

Although I can't find it to tell you the source of reference I'm positive its 20 ltr p/s for gas cooker. I got the question correct in my exam.

Interesting one never heard of the gas hob at 20 and looked through document F all I could find was the 30/60 as mentioned above.

If possible can you confirm the 20 with instructors and where they got the information.



Thanks

Its escaping me at the moment, makes me think I'm going crazy lol, but I do remember looking at the chart and then reading 20 for gas in the text and thinking why was that not in the blooming table.
