Was curious how/if the venting for the plumbing systems in the Wofatis were handeled.
Seems like an invitation for a leak !!! as most venting is throught the roof to the oustide.

I don't live in a wofati, but I did install an air admittance valve in my cob house. Should work well in this situation to limit the necessity for poking holes in water proof membranes.

They are used to update old plumbing or adding a fixture somewhere you can't put a vent.  

You can put the vent out the front wall and elbow up just like the chimney.  My old neighbor, a high end contractor and licenced plumber, did that for his pahs underground house.

Mine is simply tucked under the counter in my bathroom. It is a little far away from the tub so I still get a bit of gurgling when that drains, but works well for the bathroom and kitchen sinks. I really was not wanting to run a vent pipe up through my cob wall or have it run adjacent and be visible so I did some research and found these little beauties. Just a one way valve that lets the air in but no stink in.
