Your drafty house may be bad for your health, according to a new University of Colorado study that suggests weatherizing homes is more than just a matter of saving money and the environment. The researchers from CU Boulder and the Colorado School of Public Health at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus measured ventilation, or air-exchange rates — the rate at which outdoor air replaces a room’s indoor air — in homes in low-income neighborhoods in Denver, Aurora and elsewhere in Colorado.
