We all focus on insulation and stopping draughts in the energy efficiency advice we give, as the best way to reduce energy use at home. But an argument we often get is that insulation and draught-proofing create problems with condensation and poor air quality. Ventilation is a mystery to most of us - and energy efficient ventilation even more so, So how do we reduce heat loss and still provide good air quality and fresh air in homes?
