[Greenbuilding] Question on tight house, carbon monoxide

[John Straube]

It is good to be lucky. It is better and more reliable to be vented. 
As long as the house is leaky enough and the burner remains perfectly in tune, it all works. 
Of course, experience has shown this does not work sufficiently reliably and people die of CO poisoning sometimes when it does not. Luckily CO monitors and circumstances intervene to prevent most serious outcomes. But it is a pretty bad idea in almost any modern building not to directly vent any and all combustion products.
