Closet Ventilation Requirements
Closets with doors must have both an upper and lower vent to prevent heat and moisture buildup in the closet.
One upper vent opening with a minimum opening of 48 sq. in. (310 cm
2
) must be installed no lower than 6 feet
above the floor. One lower vent opening with a minimum opening of 24 sq. in. (155 cm
2
) must be installed no
more than one foot above the floor. Install vent grills in the door or cut down the door at the top and bottom to
form openings. Louvered doors with equivalent ventilation openings are also acceptable.
NOTE
There should be at least a little space around the dryer (or any other appliance) to eliminate the transfer of
vibration from one appliance to another. If there is enough vibration, it could cause appliances to make noise
or come into contact, causing paint damage and further increasing noise.
