'Location of flues to prevent ingress of gas and oil firing flue gases under all weather conditions'
The UK Department for Communities and Local Government has made available this Building Research Technical Report investigating the need for additional/supplementary guidance on flue location to prevent the unhealthy accumulation of flue gases under varying weather conditions. Although principally concerned with oil and gas installations, it may be very useful for those concerned with solid fuel flues and chimneys.
