@Richard F. Why not kitchens and dining rooms?   I get the bathroom it should have an exhaust fan.

I could be wrong but isn’t kitchen fans for smells. I don’t think it has anything to do with gas fumes. Those fumes are way too far away from the low powered vents to make a difference. I could be wrong.
Kitchens need exhaust fans too or you get unhealthy air recirculated from cooking,

We will be using an eco-dashboard that monitors indoor air pollution like C02,

Carbon Monoxide (CO)

Nitrogen dioxide and Sulfur dioxide are part of qualifying for the new healthy homes loan program that HUD and EPA run. Rents are much higher if we comply and they can test indoor air quality. our Type of Tenants also prefer and will pay higher rents as a result for a Certified Healthy Home. As a result and in order to cash flow in our Region We need to keep up in order to keep rents at a higher level. https://www.bpi.org/certified-...

I don't give this much thought. 

I've never heard someone say they liked/didn't like a house because it did or didn't have ceiling fans.

If you're on the fence, just use the LED lights that you want. 

agree we omly use led lights now inside and out

depends on ceiling heights 

Thanks! ok yes, Dad's primary residence is also in the trust im getting 2020 Prop 58 mixed up with Prop 19. Also, Dad's 97 and I currently take care of him at Home. Still, time to make structural changes I'm also an adult child over  55 and have lived here for over two years. The Multi-Family 4 plex is a separate investment property. I figured I needed to close the 4 plex first to afford the Home I would own 50% of each and needed to do a budget forecast.

Sorry assumed others knew ARCGIS is a government information system it comes from our Tax dollars and is free to all businesses Banks use it before underwriting loans etc. NOAA & Nasa operate the Satellites that take pictures. Most all city planning departments have access to look at trends in development for planning and zoning changes. large source of financial data https://hub.arcgis.com/pages/b...

here's a fun tool we use in evaluating property before buying to build on its interactive Satellite maps called ARC GIS it also allows you to look at the property between 2014 - 2021 to compare and look for visible changes https://storymaps.arcgis.com/s...
