[+] An idea I've been thinking about for a long time is sort of an upside down version of this one. A floor vent that looks like a cold air return, probably several in each room, near every doorway. A constant, low-power suction is applied and draws air down through the vent. A higher power suction could be applied at each vent, maybe by a pushbutton on a nearby wall. |

Reason I never posted it - it doesn't seem half-baked enough. Could be a simple enhancement of existing central vacuum systems, running at a low volume all the time would reduce dust floating in the air. |

Don't clean rooms basically work like that? I was in a climate controlled space once where the air was changed every minute. |

Yes, pretty close. Exactly where the vents are in clean rooms may vary. For my suggested residential use I'd put them in the floor near each doorway or passage between rooms. Where they wouldn't get blocked by furniture. |

Right but the floor walls ceiling could be grilles and the furniture could be wicker or mesh |

And I think I recall another self cleaning house design earlier than hers, but I'm not sure. |
