[QUOTE="Sharpend, post: 483161, member: 17152"] [USER=9512]@Sidewinder[/USER] your point about a building being sufficiently leaky, is that the case these days with new builds, I know a few years back that New builds were air tested and had to be as close to negligible as possible, I remember that windows no longer had vents, all crevices and joints were sealed air tight, mastic and sealant was king, it got so bad we used to joke that if you left you tool box open long enough it’d get sealed to stop the air escaping with you when you left! Has this changed? I always thought that it was a bad idea as a building needs to breathe, what happens in the event of a gas leak in a sealed building, a rather exquisite explosion? [/QUOTE]
