Put your doors and windows wide open

My mom always said, ‘Close the window. The heating is up’.
But actually I think she was wrong.

Because opening your windows and doors for 15 minutes a day in winter reduces your heating costs. Humid indoor air is much more difficult to heat than dry outdoor air.

Moreover, letting the fresh air in  is also very healthy. A poorly ventilated room causes drowsiness, poor concentration, allergic reactions, creates mold and other symptoms. It’s maybe counter-intuitive but our indoor air is often more polluted than the outside air, even in the middle of a city.

So reasons enough to open all the doors and windows !

But there’s something else that can convince you…

It is now abundantly clear that Covid-19 is spreading by air. Opening windows and doors causes the particles to spread and not accumulate.
Compare it with cigarette smoke. If you smoke a cigarette in a living room and you don’t ventilate properly, you can still smell that cigarette later on. But if you open the windows opposite each other for a while, the smell will be gone in no time.

Tip for today
Open your windows and doors at least once a day and let in that crisp winter air!
