Abstract: In a cold climate such as of Montreal, the air infiltration through the exterior envelope of a house has a significant impact on the heating energy consumption and cost. The renovation of existing houses for increasing the airtightness up to the level of new, well-built houses can lead to the reduction of heating energy cost. This paper estimates the cost-effectiveness of this type of renovation by considering (1) the life-cycle energy consumption; (2) the initial cost of renovation; and (3) the CO
