Summary

Compartmentalization of the building enclosure and apartment and condominium units to control stack effect-driven interior airflows can be extended to ventilation systems and systems for heating, cooling and domestic hot water. The approach results in distributed systems that allow for individual unit control, service, replacement and metering. The approach arguably results in buildings that are safer from smoke and fire perspectives, more energy efficient, more comfortable and more durable with better indoor air quality.
