buildings spend energy to cool down/warm up because the outside temperature is unfavorable. Can't see how opening the windows would help
- Shivetya 14y agoadd to that most buildings are not designed with good air flow in mind. While my house, built in 2006, has a great HVAC system complete with returns in all rooms no real thought was given to how air flows through the home from the outside. This is evident by some rooms feeling stuff regardless of open windows and others just downright unfriendly to anything loose. Toss in dark shingles (brown or darker) and a lack of large trees and most modern homes are not really habitable in summer without air conditioning. Fortunately I have ceiling fans in all rooms I spend time in but I wish architects for regular housing would spend more time with making a home livable with natural movement of air.
