That's sounds like a great idea. One thing that might be a problem is trying to use that method in winter. I think most people would have a hard time getting around using a downstairs dryer of some sort in winter. The thing I liked about Nokia's idea was that it eliminates using the downstairs conditioned air as the makeup air for the dryer. That's important in both winter and summer. You can use the heat up in the attic for the downstairs dryer in spring, summer, and fall and you can also avoid exhausting conditioned house air in winter, spring, summer, and fall with that method.

I'm still working on the design stage using a lot of Nokia's ideas. I'll get to actually implementing it eventually. I've got just too much on my plate with other renovations requiring more immediate attention.
