        Note:  When  any, or all, of the equipment marked with an asterisk (*)

      per  cubic  foot  of room or space in which it is installed, one or more
      pieces of the equipment shall be provided with a venting system or other
      equivalent means for removing the vent gases to the outdoor air so  that
      the  aggregate input rating of the remaining unvented equipment does not

      in  which  such  equipment is installed is directly connected to another
      room or space by a doorway, archway,  or  other  opening  of  comparable
      size,  which cannot be closed, the volume of such adjacent room or space
      may be included in the calculations.
