Jesus why would ducts be shared between units

To save 15 euro for a flap and fan.

"Attention, test prisoners attempting to escape through the air ducts. I don't know what nonsense you learned on TV, but in real life, air ducts just go to the air conditioning unit. It's also pretty dusty, so if you've got asthma, chances are you're gonna die up there. And we'll be smelling it for weeks because, again, the air ducts aren't a secret escape hatch, they're how we ventilate the facility."

so you don't have to heat and cool 185 individual units one by one.

I know it's kinda gross but imagine every room in a house having it's own HVAC....?

Brilliant, what a clever retort, and it perfectly encapsulates your argument, really brings me around and gets me to see it in a different light
