[GSBN] Can bale buildings be air tight?

[Anthony Novelli]

Just a comment and a correction (sic)....

Comment: Kudos for such great strides in achieving these numbers, and thanks EJ for compiling the data. I always have running questions in my mind about the quest for air-tightness, with off-gassing and such. Perhaps less need for air-change systems if this quest is partnered with close attention to materials in construction, though post-CofO purchasing could load any tight building with noxious vapors it seems.

It also seems useful to show where infiltration occurs, and perhaps adapt systems for the "point loads" of moisture to occur at those points?

Correction: I believe the .88 refers to Patrick Kane, in this wondrous season ;) - at least from my Windy City upbringing!

best to you all,
Tony
