understanding like a physical field test.

32. Objectives included:
• Gas line leak detection
• Ambient CO testing
• Unvented appliance testing (ovens and stove top
burners primarily)
• Proper equipment usage
• Appliance identification
• Combustion appliance Zone (CAZ) understanding
• Worst Case Depressurization
• Vented Appliance (furnace, boilers, water heaters)
tests: spillage, CO, draft
