Basics
- A Concept Wherein All of the Various Chimneys/Flues/Vents are rounted and merged into one larger device
- Allows for a more enclosed roof, and thus less seals, and a Points of Failure for future Roof Leaks to develop
- May be especially of use for Passive Homes
- Also may allow for more usable solar roof area due to no protruding Plumbing Venting
- Could allow for easier/larger scale material recovery ( Fly Ash and Dryer Lint ), both reducing the (albeit minor) pollution, and allowing valuable materials to be gained
- Or more realistically/easily Energy Recovery and/or Heat Recovery aiding in Home Energy Efficiency
Potential Sources
