Exactly what it says in the title.
Apparently, they do an 'air test' on new houses to check for 'leaks/draughts', etc.
Then they bang on about having adequate insulation to remove draughts but make sure their is plenty of ventilation to prevent mould/rot etc.
I find new homes stifling regarding air circulation, and if you open windows to let some fresh air in it becomes chilly quite quickly.
Someone once said that if it fails the air test, they have to trace it and fill the 'hole', which may even be where cables come into the back of a socket!
Can someone please explain what this is all about?
