ᐅ Proper Ventilation Practices Without a Mechanical Ventilation System

You often read that proper ventilation means opening all windows at least three times a day, doing shock ventilation for ten minutes, etc., to remove moisture. However, in our house (timber frame construction, everything dry, and windows with trickle vents), we have a hygrometer in every room showing humidity levels between 40 and 50 percent.

In my opinion, this means I can skip the forced ventilation several times a day, right? It should be enough to ventilate once in the morning after sleeping and after showering, or whenever there’s a smell from cooking, correct?

Moisture that isn’t there doesn’t need to be removed.

In your case, the holes in the windows (trickle vents) handle ventilation automatically.

That's why you should still make sure to ventilate every now and then ^^

Keep an eye on the hygrometer and ventilate when necessary. Has the controlled ventilation brainwashing gone this far already?

Fresh air in, stale air out.
