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?


During winter, having them open for any significant time would risk plumbing freezing. During summer, it’s usually a matter of opening them at night so the coolness lasts through the day.
