it is for fresh air, it is actually sealed off from the engine compartment so 
you would not be getting any hot air.  If you are still getting actual heated 
air the only place would be from the heater valve.  Even though it is closed 
when they get old the seal goes bad allowing Coolant to flow though the 
heater core.

I had the same problem with the fresh air flap, I ended up using a twisty tie 
to keep it closed. Good luck
