Make Up Air – GreenBuildingAdvisor

I can’t get the MUA into the kitchen without tearing up a lot of the house. Basement is finished. The only place I can get it to easily get it to is the foyer through the attic – this area communicates to the kitchen with no doors in between. We do need the hood for the cooking style we use, and the gas/induction thing is not really negotiable to maintain sanity in the house if you know what I mean…

Is it ok to vent the cold air into the house, I live in NY so gets below freezing in the winter. It is far enough away from the kitchen/living rooms that it will mix with air in the house and kick the furnace on. I am just concerned that there will be an issue with the cold, dry air hitting the humid air in the house.
