> Specifically with insulation, have you had trouble with air exchange?

I don't have empirical evidence, however I am pretty sure that we have reasonable air exchange. My evidence for this is threefold:

1) when we have used the log fire, it didn't kill us, or pull the door open.

2) there is still a slight draft,

3) we have a missing floorboard in the understairs cupboard

Whilst all of the air bricks in the rooms were covered, the suspended floor still has four bricks exposed. The triple glazing is sealed UPVC, however in the loft conversion we were forced to have trickle vents (I think thats overkill)

It doesn't ever feel stuffy, which is good. I do need to get a real CO2 monitor though.

One last bit of evidence is how quickly particulates from cooking disappear
