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?

    Unless the air quality outside is poor or worse, the window stays open so I can cope with the reactive compounds created by the gas stove in my rental. I don’t really know when my roommate cooks, so I just leave it cracked open a bit. I do live in Canada’s PNW so it’s not that big of an issue.
