I'm on my airmaxxing ventilation arc, doing a twice a day (when it's closest to room temp outside so early morning and late night) 5-10 minute opening of all the windows. Maybe it's dumb to worry about air quality when i smoke weed like it's oxygen but yknow what i like it, it's nice, and maybe i'll regret the energy bills but it doesn't feel like that period of being open really affects indoor air temperature that much (i assume the furniture and building and shit has a lot of thermal mass that helps it stay stable)
also guess what, the people who owned this house before put in bourgie glass doors that have hidden screens in them! They roll down from the top, so they're not visible at all with the glass window closed. I had absolutely no idea. I moved to unlatch what I thought was the window, thinking it would slide forward or down and just be open, when this fucking screen rolls down like magic. wowie zowie. And they're the perfect height to leave open and my cats can't do shit to mess with them!
feelin e z breezy over here i tell you
I have all windows open almost all the time.
The only time I close is during wild weather (like the wind is blowing shit over indoors, or the rain is pooling on the floor), or during heatwaves (in which case I close all windows and blinds that face the afternoon sun, then only open them in the evening when the outdoor temp is lower, then I use a box fan pointing out the window to draw in the cooler air from outside).
I don't have aircon, I do have a wall mounted electric heater in the two rooms I use the least, so they're never on. In the cold I just rug up, wear socks or use a hot water bottle.
I love being able to hear the world around me, like my neighbours practicing piano, or the train going by, or birdcall, helps with the tinnitus too (if it's too quiet the ringing in my ears gets disorientating)
