And, as you mentioned, it's not a good heat conductor, so in the long run the losses would start to add up.
The idea is that all the condesing moisture is taken by the cold outside air as it's getting warmer (thru heat exchange). For spring and autumn time you would use bypass with no heat exchange.

BTW, Lossnay is using paper core.
