Isn't this how it's supposed to be? I don't have super much experience, so an honest question.
In all places I've lived (in Sweden) you have incoming air from an adjustable vent above or below windows, or maybe somewhere else, like the ceiling. If you don't have a vent, then it's random cracks like OP (though never this big :p)
Then you have outgoing vents in bathrooms, toilets, and maybe kitchen.
The negative pressure keeps foul air from spreading from these rooms, and fresh air constantly being replenished.
If you don't have this negative pressure, either if it's by "self draft" , or by fans on the roof, how to you get circulation? In the extreme: how do you get fresh oxygen?
