We’re preparing to begin our mechanical rough in on a new construction home in climate zone 6a.
Between make-up air and exhaust, we will need 7 penetrations, and this is with consolidating two bath exhaust fans into one with a remote fan.
It is my hope that I can avoid having this many penetrations through the sidewall, mainly for aesthetic purposes. Is there any recommendations to potentially consoidate some of these behind, say, a gable vent (with provisions made for insulation and air sealing)?
I am curious if there are other clever ways to achieve reducing the number of penetrations. Many thanks!
