🪟 Why should I ventilate?
Regular ventilation is essential for a healthy indoor environment. Here’s why it matters:
🧼 Cleans the air by removing CO₂, odors, and moisture
🦠 Prevents mold by reducing excess humidity
🤧 Reduces germs and allergens, improving your overall well-being
🏠 Protects your home — proper airflow keeps walls and furniture in better condition over time
❌ What not to do
Keeping a window constantly tilted open for long periods is not effective for air exchange and causes unnecessary heat loss.
✅ 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.
⏱️ How long should you ventilate?
It depends on the outside temperature:
🥶 0°C and below: 2–3 minutes
🧊 Around 5°C: 5 minutes
🌤️ 10°C and above: 8 minutes
💡 The colder it is outside, the quicker the air will exchange!
🔁 How often should I ventilate?
🛏️ Bedrooms & common areas:
At least twice a day — ideally in the morning and evening🛁 Bathrooms:
Always ventilate after every shower to prevent humidity build-up and mold🍳 Kitchens:
Open windows during or after cooking to reduce moisture and odors
✅ How to Prevent Mould
🪟 Air out 2–3 times a day for 5–10 minutes with the windows wide open.
🔥 Keep rooms heated, also when you're away.
👕 Don't dry laundry in your bedroom.
💧 Wipe off condensation on windows.
🛋️ Leave a little space between furniture and outside walls.
♨️ Bonus Tip: Don’t forget the thermostat!
💡 When you open the windows, set your thermostat to a minimum or temporary pause mode. This avoids wasting energy or confusing the system — otherwise, it might try to heat the outside air!
