Use a jump duct (Figure 2) or transfer grille (Figure 3), so warm air from the house is pulled into the closet, warming the closet.
Caption: FIGURE 3 Transfer Grille. Warm air from the house is pulled into the closet, warming the closet.
The only exception occurs when the hood at the corner is adjacent to a
transfer grille. In this case, the jet from the
transfer grille that passes just above and in front of the sash opening falls down into the working zone of the hood as it mixes with the cool supply air from the diffuser.
Sizing the transfer grille is somewhat tricky because the return air plenum is also negatively pressurized.

This is accomplished with mechanical ventilation systems, which include
transfer grilles in each room to relieve the room's pressure while keeping the airflow at a predetermined rate.
Project coordinators paid special attention to product off-gassing in this house by incorporating elements like 100 percent nylon carpet, low-emission cabinets, air
transfer grilles over interior doors, and zero-volatile organic compound (VOC) wall paint.
He pushed mastic and duct testing ** and pressure balancing via jump ducts (Figure 2a) and
transfer grilles (Figure 2b).
Use
transfer grilles and transoms to bleed the pressure from rooms with doors (Figure 3).
