An inadequately airtight house can lead to several issues:
Poor Indoor Air Quality
Air leaks can allow outdoor pollutants, allergens, and contaminants to enter the home. This compromises indoor air quality, leading to respiratory issues and allergies among occupants.
Energy Inefficiency
Air leaks allow conditioned air to escape and outdoor air to infiltrate, causing heating and cooling systems to work harder. This inefficiency results in increased energy consumption and higher utility bills.
Moisture Infiltration
Uncontrolled airflow brings moisture into the house, leading to increased humidity levels. This moisture can create ideal conditions for mold and mildew growth, potentially damaging building materials and posing health risks to occupants.
Temperature Variations and discomfort
Air leaks can create uneven temperatures within the house, leading to discomfort in certain areas and difficulty in maintaining a consistent indoor climate.
Condensation and Structural Damage
Moisture infiltration due to air leaks can lead to condensation on surfaces within the building envelope. Over time, this can cause rot, decay, and damage to structural components like wooden frames, compromising the integrity of the building.
Increased Noise Levels
Air leaks can also allow external noise to enter the house, reducing the overall acoustic comfort within the home.
