The ability to vary the air conditioning in one of the rooms can effect the flow into all

the rooms.  Air ducts will become long with the result that transport delays will vary and

be significant.  Some rooms may have the ability to turn off their air conditioning

completely and rely on the opening of windows.  Referencing under these conditions

will only provide a false sense of security.  Unwanted alarms may easily occur from one
