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?

Canada here. Winter never, unless we have a rare warm (above -10c/14f) day. Spring as often as I can if/when it's nice enough outside. Summer usually open until the temps get around 27c/80f then closed and the air conditioner on.

I live in a roughly 100 yr old house though, so with all the cracks etc this place tends to self-ventilate anyway.
