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?

    Spring: Never, my partner is allergic to tree pollen released during the spring, nor does the indoor temperature warrant opening the windows

    Summer: Sometimes in late summer - I am allergic to grass pollen highly prevalent in early summer. Once they clear, I open the windows when it’s warmer inside than outside, to cool down my apartment slightly

    Autumn: Rarely. The temperature usually does not warrant opening the windows

    Winter: Never. It’s far too cold to let heat intentionally escape

    How I avoid suffocation: my apartment is well-ventilated, this is not an issue whatsoever
