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?


I live on the Chesapeake Bay, so during the late spring into late Fall, I open my windows pretty much daily on the weekends and whenever I am home during the week.
