[QUOTE="Streblerm, post: 6444108, member: 14573"] I think it is fairly clear that windchill will affect your house’s rate of heat loss even if it is tight and well insulated. Insulation doesn’t stop the movement of heat, it only slows it down. Higher wind speeds increase the rate of heat loss through convection so heat will be lost faster through the surface of your house when the wind is blowing. Windchill doesn’t arbitrarily affect people’s skin. It is a measure of the rate that any object loses heat. Agree that air infiltration is probably a bigger factor. I know it is in my house. [/QUOTE]
