One of the most challenging aspects of designing VRF sys- tems is the need to provide a separate outside air supply to each unit to comply with ANSI/ASHRAEStandard62.1,Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality, and building codes. Most manufacturers offer an outside air kit, for connecting to outside air ductwork. A separate outside air fan and control system is generally required for larger buildings. In humid climates, providing preconditioned outside air to each indoor unit ensures good indoor air quality.

If you have no duct then you have no outdoor air and therefore you do not meet code

It’s the commercial equivalent of a residential split system.

Great day to be in the sheet metal shop business!
