The calculated grille size will be large enough to maintain less than 0.012" wc (3 pascals) pressure difference to prevent the pressurization of bedrooms and depressurization of the common area. This limits the amount of air that will be forced into or drawn from the attic, crawlspace etc. More information on transfer grilles from this link;
