   In addition to one of the articles mentioned by Steve Knapp (The Stack Effect: When Buildings Act Like Chimneys), it's worth reading these GBA articles:

   Who Knew the Stack Effect Could Be So Controversial?

   Questions and Answers About Air Barriers

   The article Charlie linked is also available at the BSC website without a paywall: https://buildingscience.com/documents/insights/bsi-075-how-do-buildings-stack-up (I'm pretty sure its the same article at least)

   I finally got around to reading the links posted
   That article by Joe Lstiburek is a nice technical explanation that i can blow people's brains out with and Martin's articles explain things very well
   Thanks everyone :)
