Au contraire, current thinking is "build it tight, and ventilate it right."

Some Canadian houses are extremely airitght, and very healthy.

Yes, very airtight, with controlled, heat exchanged ventilation HRV,
with ERVs recommended.

Get them very tight to minimize heat gain/loss as appropriate, and
introduce outside air at controlled rates with minimal loss of heated
(or cooled) air.

Energy savings of 30-40% are documented in Canada
