According to the Canadian National Research Council, Air Leakage is Responsible for 30-50% of a Typical Homes Energy Loss?!
What is Air Leakage?
Air Leakage is when the heated or cooled air inside your home escapes to the outside, and outside air infiltrates into your home.
This diagram from the US Department of Energy shows how air leakage occurs. The process of heated air escaping the top of your home as colder, outside air is sucked in around your foundation is called Stack Effect, and stack effect is what drives air leakage.
When you feel a cold draft in your home, you are fact feeling air leakage!
