Do Draught Excluders Work?

Are draft excluders effective?

Draught-proofing is one of the cheapest and most effective ways to save energy – and money – in any type of building. Controlled ventilation helps reduce condensation and damp, by letting fresh air in when needed. However, draughts are uncontrolled: they let in too much cold air and waste too much heat.
