I like to imagine a world where it's acceptable for houses to be designed around a utility room where all of these interchanges, insulation, isolation, exhaust, issues can be contained, and accessed, in a small, separate, space that is not part of the living area.

Unfortunately it's also a world where having a problem with your aircon means your fridge stops working and replacing a fridge means calling in a technician for the plumbing.
