What is a well ventilated fridge space?

BASIX definition

Well ventilated fridge space means a refrigerator space that meets the following criteria:

(i)  the refrigerator will be unenclosed; or

(ii)  the refrigerator will only be enclosed on three sides, including the rear and top; or

(iii)  if the refrigerator is to be enclosed on three sides (not including the rear and top), ventilation grills are installed below the refrigerator (either in the floor underneath the refrigerant coils, from the rear, or within the plinth) and above the refrigerant coils, to allow air flow equal to the air flow that would pass over the refrigerant coils were the refrigerator unenclosed.

 

Select only if your proposed development follows the BASIX definition, as listed above, for a well-ventilated refrigerator space.
