Even if sucked into a vapor....or injected....Or just splashed around?
Some is even ultrasounded. None of the common methods really require a
lot
of caloric input to disseminate.. I don't think that a perpetual motion
machine
is required to maintain economy of heat and humidity dispersal. A
teakettle used
to work quite fine on top of a space heater. I don't think the caloric
loss was 
significant. As for tight houses...All codes require 10 percent outside
makeup air.
And that usually requires and air-exchanger in most American climates.So
how do 
you reconcile yourself to those losses? Or do you ignore them and add
yourself to 
the EPA's assassination list? ;-)
