Basement vents

Tags: Basement & Foundation
I have a full basement that is already vented. Would there be a benefit to wrapping the vent pipes, or is this not necessary? I know that this done in unheated spaces, but is it still of value to do it in heated spaces?

It will not hurt to wrap the vent, however it is more important to know if your damper/s is properly working.
