I honestly think that if I had a draught from my front door I would be able to feel it. There may be a technical way of answering your question and if there is I’m sure someone will know

If you are serious, you could have your whole home tested for  air integrity.  (http://www.new-home-blog.co.uk/house-builders-are-cheating-new-home-air-leakage-testing/)
This will show where cold air is getting in/and your expensive heat getting out - draughts..
