The minimum distance required between the building’s air intakes and exhausts is described by r. 
- Where the exhaust is below (A), or at the same level (B) as the intake, r is a horizontal distance.
- Where the exhaust is above the intake (C), r is a 3-dimensional distance.
- r ≥ 10m.
Where r < 10m the design team must either:
- Design in accordance with the relevant standard listed in the manual, which allows distances of <10m in certain circumstances or,
- Use modelling to demonstrate no intake of exhaust air.
