πͺ Why should I ventilate?
Regular ventilation is essential for a healthy indoor environment. Hereβs why it matters:
π§Ό Cleans the air by removing COβ, odors, and moisture
π¦ Prevents mold by reducing excess humidity
π€§ Reduces germs and allergens, improving your overall well-being
π Protects your home β proper airflow keeps walls and furniture in better condition over time
β What not to do
Keeping a window constantly tilted open for long periods is not effective for air exchange and causes unnecessary heat loss.
β What to do instead
Use intense, short bursts of ventilation by fully opening the window. This quickly replaces stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air.
β±οΈ How long should you ventilate?
It depends on the outside temperature:
π₯Ά 0Β°C and below: 2β3 minutes
π§ Around 5Β°C: 5 minutes
π€οΈ 10Β°C and above: 8 minutes
π‘ The colder it is outside, the quicker the air will exchange!
π How often should I ventilate?
ποΈ Bedrooms & common areas:
At least twice a day β ideally in the morning and eveningπ Bathrooms:
Always ventilate after every shower to prevent humidity build-up and moldπ³ Kitchens:
Open windows during or after cooking to reduce moisture and odors
β¨οΈ Bonus Tip: Donβt forget the thermostat!
π‘ When you open the windows, set your thermostat to a minimum or temporary pause mode. This avoids wasting energy or confusing the system β otherwise, it might try to heat the outside air!
