Fixing sites of air leakage is typically the first step to achieving thermal efficiency, where up to 25 percent of heat gain during summer, and up to 25 percent of thermal loss during winter can occur.

Draughts can exist in any entry point in your home including:
- Gaps around doors and windows
- Exhaust fans
- General penetrations such as pipes etc
