This allows
for much more precise flow calibration and reduces the chances of
air leakage.
Specially constructed airtight ply boxes were installed to receive the new windows, and also allow
for preliminary airtightness testing to more accurately reveal
air leakages elsewhere in the house
Therefore in order to achieve low energy use in a building,
air leakage has to be minimized, or the heating energy you pay
for just ends up leaking outdoors.

for obvious
air leakage points as they worked.
Table 2 lists the

The duct systems
for the sealed attic houses had an average of 41 % less total
air leakage, and, most importantly, no measurable
air leakage to the outdoors.
Annual simulation results
for Las Vegas showed that the sealed «cathedralized» attic, compared to the vented attic with the
air distribution ducts in the attic, could save 4 % on space conditioning energy, with no duct
