ah that makes more sense, like those 15+ story buildings? I should have clarified my comment was in regards to SFH or triple deckers. I would honestly think it would be easier to implement in SFH but I'm guessing it's mostly due to developers cutting costs and that there is no regulation to actually make a viable one.

  I'm not sure, but yes I could imagine the larger buildings being targeted by more regulations.

  It would be pretty easy to do in a large building - they already have plenums for hvac, external exhaust is not much different.
