[Greenbuilding] Question on tight house, carbon monoxide

[George J. Nesbitt]

It' burner design from what I understand. Historically CO testing 
protocols have allowed 100ppm for stovetop burners & 300ppm for ovens 
before you are "required" to take corrective action. Although lately 
100ppm seems to be used for everything.
