Posted By: PeterStarckApparently high levels of airtightness affect the level of moisture in the wall more than heat loss. I asked this question on the AECB Forum.
Posted By: tonyyes you will in your pocket, probably not if you have a thermostat unless it is very windy. In Canada or Scandinavia you may hit problems with ice build up in you walls, much greater air tightness is common there.
do you mean by perceive feel warm with no draughts?
Posted By: Ed DaviesYou could have a house with zero air leakage as shown on the blower door test at the end of construction but which has dreadful airtightness problems with leaks everywhere bypassing almost all the insulation, only stopped by what tony calls a plasterboard tent.That is true with plasterboard, and a reason to go wet plaster like we have. But good point, a good blower test does not tell the whole story. How could buildings be tested for this problem?
Posted By: Ed DaviesGood point, but it's a bit late then. You really want to pick up the problems before it's all sealed up and the house is heated.
