I used one of those Air Admittance Valves on my kitchen sink as it's in a peninsula. My recollection was you needed at least one vent to the exterior - couldn't be all AAV. I looked at the link provided and found this;
"Q. "Can I use Air Admittance Valves (AAVs) only for my whole house?"
A. No, a minimum of one vent must be open to the atmosphere (outside the dwelling) to allow the release of positive pressure in the drain system to prevent possible trap blowout allowing sewer gas into the home/building. A wet vent may also be an option; however, as always, check with your local code enforcement agency to ensure that your project will comply with code in your area."
