I'd hazard a strong guess that the DG units don't have trickle vents?
Aren't these required by 'law' these days?

When I had mine done (just before Part L came in), trickle vents
were only required if the windows didn't have a lockable trickle/
slightly open position, which most do. The installer said LA's
and housing assocations insisted their properties has trickle vents
in the DG because tennants tended to do things which generated
excessive moisture resulting in damp, but private households
usually preferred their windows without. It made negligable
difference to price.


And as an ex-LA/HA worker, I can put on record that residents have been
known to stuff the trickle vents with tissue ;-)

I do wonder what social housing tenants do that private occupiers don't ..!
