Does anyone have any ideas/tips on how to address infiltration on high-rise condos? I have a coastal condo with sliding glass doors taking up two sides of the unit. Infiltration from these is somewhat significant, but I've yet to find sliding doors with the upper tracks sealed. So, I'm trying to figure out how to address where the air goes to. It seems to primarily go up the "stacks" -- bath vent, dryer, chases, etc. Sealing up the chases is easy, but I'm unsure how to handle the others. The building doesn't have powered central exhaust fans on the vents/dryer exhausts, but the height of the building and coastal breezes mean there's constantly air flowing out of these.
Just curious if anyone else has hit this situation and found a solution for it. It's not normally an issue for me, but the condo's going through a roof redo so everyone has their windows open due to the lack of AC. I'm chugging along with a couple of portables (68F inside), but the amount of infiltration's severe.
