That’s true but there are two sides to it. Is it trouble or is it a blessing? I grew up in a country that was technically unable to build houses and manufacture windows that were draft-free, which was an early admission of failure and completely insane. They built millions of ugly prefab buildings where half of the energy input escaped through those windows and doors and nobody cared. Tenants could have rooms with 27° in winter and didn’t have to pay for it. Hot running water was free of charge, too. The washing up was done with hot water running all the time and all relatives were invited to take a bath. There was great astonishment and anger, though, when the east Germans learnt that in the new system everyone would have to pay for the energy used. Increasingly, they would also get tightly closing windows and doors and the trouble with mould growth began because people didn’t air their homes any more and there was no “natural” draft either. It’s not just mould infestation that not heating homes can lead to but, over here, the piping may burst, too.

Everybody likes to be comfortable , so a blessing but with a cost ,such is every thing in life .
Insulation is more of energy saving than frost protection now, sods law say’s we’re in for a hard winter with the energy cost’s so high.
