I came across this vent inside the HVAC utility room. The vent was closed however there is cool air escaping into a storage room…Would this be an inefficient cooling and heating method due to the neglect of ac tech?

I was wondering if maybe the vent in question leads to the outside and is supplying combustion air for that furnace. I can't tell from the photo what the vent is mounted on/in.

Forgive the intrusion, but I don’t see where the code is violated here. at least with what is quoted.
The quoted text is concerning 'outside' and 'return' air. This register s appears to be on the supply side of the furnace, in which case would not apply to the quoted texted, which is talking about 'outside air' and 'Return air'.
A supply vent in an equipment room isn't covered by these definitions. Accroding to the picture I see this is a supply plenum with a register on it.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm always open for further education.
