I think code for new houses is the run the HIVAC vents above grade. Too many houses had the vents in the slab floor get moisture and fill wit mold, or even water. Then they have to be filled and capped and the vents moved to the ceiling. I don't know that is a fact, but one AC guy I talked to said it was.
Out house is 24 years old. This room was designed as bedroom. It would be the worst bedroom in the place since it is small with a fairly small closet, and no return and poor HIVAC. I guess it was just small enough they decided to save 10 bucks and not put in a return in this room. I don't know.
THe house have some unusual features and is a custom home. The enormous closet in the master bedroom, and the bathroom that is part of the HIVAC in the garage. The oversize 3 car garage with a workbench area was what sold me on the house. The soffits around the house have an electrical plug every 20 feet. We customized it a lot more in the last 20 years.
We both agreed this was our last move and with everything paid for, we are not planning on leaving.
