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
Im never going to sleep with a window open but i don't have thousands of dollars for an energy replacement vent to pull fresh air into the HVAC system so i'm wondering if it'd be good enough just to cut a big hole in the bedroom door and put in a vent (can't just leave it open because the fat cat will literally walk on our heads complaining that she's starving at 4am)
Anything is better than nothing. Can’t say how well it will work because it depends on the dimensions of your room and the vent, and the initial air quality inside and outside of your house. If you want to know the air quality in your house you can buy a cheap co2 meter to check and experiment on how to improve it.
Bad air quality is not the end of the world, ventilating twice a day is a big improvement compared to never ventilating. Really bad air quality will affect your cognition, energy and sleep quality. If you constantly wake up with headache and feeling like you aren’t rested it could be caused by lack of ventilation during your sleep.
