    Good question

    If there is no air getting into the attic at this point then the answer is openings have to be provided. I would contact Mass Save and get there ruling along with the local inspector.



    Give the measurements of the attic and ceiling height and I can determine if it classifies as a confined space. What is the BTU of the furnaces?
