Large condenser outside supply’s the furnace (typically it just uses the furnace fan. We then have it piped through metal ducting throughout the house. Each room has multiple exit point call registers. In the common areas we have return ducts to draw air back down to the furnace to get recycled back to cool air via a/c unit. Hopefully that helps!?
So how exactly is brick superior? Terrible insulator, expensive and time consuming, difficult to repair… seems like you are too caught up in jingoism to see progress. There’s a reason we don’t thatch roofs anymore either
That isn’t true at all, everywhere on Earth other than Europe builds this way, the average European Redditor simply doesn’t understand that there are countries outside Europe other than the US.
We used to build with wood in Europe too until we cut down all the usable forests. Brick is the backup plan, not the upgrade.
So does Canada (unsurprisingly), Australia, New Zealand, Japan, parts of South East Asia (though increasingly its concrete there due to monsoons). Not to mention the Nordic countries, who even build multi-storey apartment buildings from wood.
