Research reveals how bathroom fans and sliding glass may be letting cold air into your home, Daniel Miles, Thu 15 Aug 2024:
"Heating and cooling costs are about 40 per cent of your total energy bill, and fixing leaks can reduce that by 20 per cent," he said.
"Some other homes, particularly apartments, were found to be extremely airtight, which can result in issues impacting building performance and resident health, if controlled ventilation is not included.
It's interesting that Australian houses are becoming better, but that as active ventilation is not mandatory it can actually make things worse (although it'd seem, not thermally worse, but there's a good reason to not shut the fridge door behind you…).
