Putting that aside, don’t you then agree ventilation in public spaces is useful for obvious health reasons?

Hilariously Air conditioning is very common in the US but very uncommon in Europe. Is there actually any evidence of a positive effect?

  The Minergie (Swiss) folks probably have a 90 page application guide that goes into those kinds of details: https://www.minergie.com/media/guia_de_aplicacion_latam_v2023_1_en.pdf https://www.minergie.com/media/guia_de_aplicacion_latam_v202...

    Why are you just sending me a 90 page PDF about housing regulation. Obviously that does not contain a shred of scientific evidence that filtering certain particles reduces transmission of infectious diseases. Genuinely no idea what you are thinking with this or what the point of that PDF is.

      > housing regulation is it? I think you may want to do some research of your own.

        Your document contains zero relevant information and you refused to point to any specific part of its 90 pages. Obviously you have no evidence for your claims and you made stuff up by linking to an irrelevant document and then being extremely obtuse and annoying when being asked to substantiate what you are saying or even to specify why the document contains relevant information. If you have zero evidence of a claim being true, stop making it.

        Clown if you want, but he's absolutely right. There is exactly one sentence in that entire damn thing that comes close to touching on the question of why ventilation is desirable, and it is: >Pleasant, healthy air to breathe is the most important food for human beings.

        I’m clowning because OP seems to be mostly dedicated to whining. To your point, the original post requested information specific to European standards where AC is not common. I don't care to spend time solving internet stranger’s problems but Minergie would be a good place to start because they presumably didn’t fabricate their standards. A curious, motivated person could track down whatever they’ve published, which is most likely in German.

That case would have to be made scientifically by credible researchers, which is a lot to ask these days.
