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?
Your parents are right in terms of energy waste, im sorry to say.
I’m quite similar though and air about five times a day but with a timer so that the air gets circulated completely without cooling out the house itself.
The breathing struggle is most likely a mix of dust sensitivity and psychology. For me an air cleaner made a huge difference in my comfort level.
I’d you want to go the scientific approach get a CO2 monitor (the most important element for brain performance when talking about home air) and a PM2.5 sensor for dust levels.
Lol mom told me to “go outside if you can’t breathe” 🙃
So what do I choose, freeze to death or suffocate to death?
I dont think we ever circulate the air… felt like I lost a few iq points… from the lack of oxygen
Haha I feel you!
Perhaps try to be a bit less extreme in your language in front of your parents - or offer them a bet: if a CO2 monitor is yellow or red at the evening they pay for it and you can air whenever it’s getting yellow. If it stays green you pay for it and shut up about the windows!
