My Coop is in a concrete building, does that count. I will get pictures tonight.

My biggest problem is moisture - hard to ventilate when the walls, floor and ceiling are concrete. so if you are bilding a brick coop, add more ventilation than you think you need - you can always close it off, but it is hard to add it.

Thank you very much for your reply, and yes concrete coop does count, and I've already got a brick shed(which I'm converting into a coop, I've got a lot of ventilation like a lot, I thought it would be way too much, but now you have said I might keep it.

Ventilation is not drafts. Ventilation should be well above the heads of the birds as they stand on their roost. If your roof can't prevent rain from coming in may I suggest installing baffles? I'm sure you can attach to the walls. Check my article on baffles.
