Is it possible to build a house that is too tight?

Our philosophy is no. At Woodhouse®, we believe it's best to make the home as tight as possible and then install an air exchanger (also known as a heat-recovery ventilator) to control how the house breathes. The old adage that a house has to breath is correct. However, rather than a haphazard approach, we believe it's better to manage air movement efficiently and mechanically using an air exchanger.
