Edit: Context behind this question is because my parents always tell me to shut the windows all the way and I kinda feel like I’m suffocating… literally… (it’s Winter here)
Like I just struggle to breathe with windows closed…
So I’m just curious, how do y’all not suffocate while trying to keep house warm and spend less on heating?


Depends on temperature. If it’s below 10C all day, then generally never, maybe every day or 2 for 10 mins to let some fresh air in. 10-15C, probably most rooms on the first latch during the day and most closed at night. Over 15C and windows open mostly including on the latch at night.
