My own guess is that this will vary depending from home to home, depending on whether the installers actually sealed all possible gaps. Window panes to frame may be sealed as long as the rubber seals are in decent condition. But there may be some unseen gap between the window frame proper and walls, especially if the walls were uneven, and the installers didn't close up the gaps with sealant.
Been suspecting this for one of my rooms, because when neighbours burn offerings, some of the burning smell very clearly seeps into the room. To the point it feels like there's burning going on in the room itself

Will get to check this for sure with my G1 sensor the next time there's burning again.
