Other then being a code requirement is there a reason why a plumbing system in a building needs at least one vent to the outside of the building and why not use a sufficient number of Air Admitt?

To facilitate the minimum [gravity flow] activity for any type of liquid transfer application(s), [in this case, waste management], one vent will allow liquid movement to begin. Supplying one vent per fixture installed promotes the best fluid (waste) movement results; hence, going through the roof.... "Trial and error" experience has proven that unless some sort of gravity system is created to support the process, either a unsafe vacuum system will be created or a bottle-neck system will result which could be followed by many more headaches than desired, meaning your liquid flow system will be so inefficient that bacteria storage will be the outcome rather than waste management.

re
Which is correct outside of a building or outside a building?
This is one case where the common usage in English has eliminated the proper descriptive function of a preposition. If something is "outside a building", it is actually outside "of" the building, but the word "outside" creates an adverbial clause that removes the need for the "of". "He was standing outside the building." (same case for "inside") The "outside of a building" is a noun meaning the exterior wall. "I had to repair the outside of the building."
