Many times these days new homes are entirely to tight... Construction techniques and materials have come a long why. Many times in new construction traditional fire places are looked at negatively because they comprimise what is a very efficient home... I have also seen and read of instances where new homes are so tight that they actually have to vent
air in on occasion.....
