Airtight houses are unhealthy.
Airtight houses with effective energy details and proper ventilation are usually very healthy. Loose, drafty houses with high energy bills are not necessarily healthy nor are they what most people prefer to live in. Interior comfort and humidity levels are more difficult to control, excess natural air exchange causes dry interior air during the coldest part of the winter and they may have cool wall and window surfaces which encourage condensation and the growth of mould. The proof is in the pudding. People with cases of environmental illness are building and happily living in airtight houses.
