A red? Really? Someone simply responded with "wronge" to my post. and yes they spelled it incorrectly. What part of opinion didn't someone understand? Call it out if you want, but until proven otherwise, opinions are not wrong.

The 50cu.ft/1000 btu/hr would the the first step and if this is not enough then the differance needs to be coming from exterier.
when I figure sq " lets say from a closed mechanical room door. I can actually measure 1"x 30" under door 30 sq. BUT if you cant even do that on a closed door forget it. And we cant assume just because we see a tinyy air gap, here and there it cant even be figured into the calculation.
Ask your self when you see the tiny air gaps , how many sq." is that actually. with cumbustion air we can not just assume BUT must have calculations to verify it is or not enough.
