The Alberta Building Code does not say which exhaust fan must be used as the principle exhaust fan (it can be any exhaust fan in the home except the range hood fan). However the fan must have sufficient capacity to provide 50% of the total ventilation requirements of the home (ABC 9.32.3.4.(1)). And the switch must be centrally located (ABC 9.32.3.4(4)). Also two or more exhaust fans may be interlocked together so that they function simultaneously as the principal exhaust fan (ABC 9.32.3.4.(3)).
