Wow...lots of info to process. So is sealing up your house really the best thing to do then? Especially with home builders really not yet having figured things out as far as pressure, moisture and air exchange? I bought a 1987 house this fall and I was thinking of sealing it up and sticking in an HRV with the new furnace/AC that we're going to need to buy. But now I'm wondering if I even want to do that, because then it will be to dry in the house and we have hardwood floors. And I really don't want to put in a whole house humidifier because I've read that they use tons of water and we use well water which would mean the filter would need cleaning ALOT. I'd almost rather leave things unsealed and just let the air get sucked in that way. I don't know, it's very confusing when you don't know exactly what's going on.
