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?

    Our place is ventilated well enough that I don’t need to open the windows for ventilation or to manage humidity per se, but I am fortunate enough to live in an area with good quality air, so I often do in spring/summer/fall just because it feels fresher.

    In winter, I don’t want to freeze or waste energy, so I usually keep them closed. But once in a while, if I have my computer running for a long time and the heat is also on for the rest of our place, I may crack the window a bit just to keep that room from becoming unbearably hot.
