Hi, I have a question about Real world practice, PDD. HVAC, Electrical, & Plumbing [Exercise B], Question 4 of 10. The correct option is listed as saying, “central systems are more efficient and require less space than water systems”. I think this is wrong, can someone confirm?

PDD | HVAC, Electrical, and Plumbing [Exercise B]

@hamza.waris wrote in with this question: The correct answer choice actually states: “Central air systems are typically less expensive and require less space for piping and equipment.” Since air systems use ductwork rather than extensive hydronic piping networks, pumps, and related equipment, they are often simpler and less expensive to install.
