In the building code at least for Edmonton, if running an exhaust fan in excess of 300 CFM, there's a requirement that the fresh air intake duct for the furnance have a inline heater and that when the exhaust fan is turned on, the furnance fan comes on also.

Came across this when looking to install a high flow (~600cfm) kitchen range hood.
