draftier
Letting more air
Draftier is the comparative form of drafty, describing a space that has more unwanted currents of cold air than another.
A room with poorly sealed windows is draftier than one with good insulation.
The old farmhouse was draftier than any place I'd ever lived.
The word applies almost exclusively to indoor spaces where cold air infiltrates unwantedly.
