Only if negative pressure is maintained in the system at all times, to prevent exhaust from moving from space to space.

I presume this is a multi-story building with a full-time mechanical exhaust system. The same would not apply to a residence. Depending on the floor plan layout, the exhaust system might have one fan for all exhaust, if convenient; otherwise, it might have separate fans and ducts for kitchens and baths, rather than having ducts on each floor running all over the place.

You can combine exhaust for multiple baths together, and multiple kitchens together, although you would not ordinarily combine kitchen and bath exhausts because of odor migration. There are specific requirements vis a vis make-up air and for fire dampers. Look at the international Mechanical Code 2006 chapters 5 and 6 for the specific sections that relate to your structure(s).

I agree this. Now my situation is that I have to do a heat recovery system also in this. because this is a 35 storied residential building and if possible I can utilise a big quantity of air for heat recovery.
