The original question has not been answered though.

I guess I should call some of my architect friends, they would be happy to get some work I suppose.
Any form of construction must be sealed to prevent unwanted penetration by the wind.I don't have high regard for building regs as they allowed the use of 9 inch cavity blocks to build the swiss cheese wind tunnell which we paid so dearly for.
The requirements for ventilation under Irish Law is given in TGD F Ventilation and depending on when your building was built.I just don't buy the need for vents in every room.
Please read the thread posts again.The original question has not been answered though.
This is what Post # 6 advised, because ofI guess I should call some of my architect friends, they would be happy to get some work I suppose.
The question has been answered.
The consensus, based on what you have written, is that its not the flashing and the contributors were trying to eliminate other possibilities.
I have asked you twice for a specific answer to how the internal pb is fixed to the wall and if the wall vents in the block work are ducted out to, and sealed into, the face of the pb or is there a gap between the inner face of the pb and the block work. A visual inspection will require the inner grille to be taken off and if the hole in the pb is not big enough to shove your hand in then enlarge it to feel/see the gap if any.
This construction problem is widespread in 100's of houses all across the country, I have carried out remedial work on close to 100 at this point so I am aware, first-hand, of the issue.
You are quite entitled to rant on about your views on building regs and the like as well as exhibit a cynical and disparaging attitude to the current dearth of work for architects
However it would be helpful if you could answer the question.
The above quote begs the question: why did you not engage with them earlier?
In my case, the insulation company hired a qualified architect to talk me through the project. She convinced me of the merit of doing the work, and carried out the BER examination at the end. She did not share your sense of alarm regarding the vents. Ultimately we did not see the insulation improvement we expected, and I have been trying to troubleshoot ever since.
