[Greenbuilding] Fwd: Question on tight house, carbon monoxide

[Kenn Brown]

If I remember right it's a simple matter to loosen a couple screws as you
lay on the floor  and turn a round plate until you get the right color of
blue.

Fascinating. 

Is there any reason to be so (comparatively) lax about ovens? I mean isn't
it a pretty simple matter to get the fuel air mixture right, or is it more
complicated?

It reminds me of the long standing rules that permit side by side & bottom
freezer refrigerators to consume more electricity per cubic foot... There's
no engineering reason to set this up that way, but there may be plenty of
other reasons to :-)

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.
