Air sealing? Make you house tight then sit back, relax and enjoy comfort town.Run the AC less and stay cooler. This kind of thing is more apparent for us in heating dominated climates. If the house is leaky you're cold in the winter, no matter what you set the thermostat to. A leaky house doesn't feel like a 70 degree day in the summer when the thermostat is set to 70 in the winter. The leaks creates constant convention cycles in any room that abuts an outside wall. The cold air from the walls sinks and the hot air from the room rises and it happens at the wall. There is constant motion of the air in the room due to convection. The same is probably happening to you but in reverse.
