Poor Air Quality Causes

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

In an effort to save energy costs, new homes are being better sealed to prevent indoor air from escaping.  Energy efficient windows and doors with double weather stripping are being installed in both new homes and older homes that are being remodeled.  Insulation is thicker and the use of air-tight vapor barriers is more prevalent.  Better caulk is sealing up cracks and other potential air leaks.  While all this has made many homes more efficient, saving both energy and money, it has also made it nearly impossible for these homes to “breathe” – to expel stale, polluted indoor air and exchange it for cleaner, fresher outdoor air.
