When the world was hit with an energy crisis in the 1970s, millions of people added insulation and tightened up their houses. Weatherization programs helped homeowners seal up many of the cracks in their houses that air used to leak through. In order to save energy, we sealed ourselves inside our homes with no fresh air—we might as well have placed plastic bags over our heads. Without a doubt, saving energy is definitely a good idea. And tight construction is also a good idea. But fresh air and ventilation is an even better idea. And the good news is that all three can be combined into a properly designed healthy house.
