Dry air in the room

Hello Dämmunsinn,
When ventilating, it is not only about achieving a certain indoor humidity. Rather, ventilation reduces the concentration of pollutants in the indoor air – especially the carbon dioxide levels. We all know what "stuffy" indoor air is like and how it feels. Ventilating makes the air (i.e., the carbon dioxide concentration in the indoor air) pleasant again.

Winter weather air is not necessarily optimal for us humans; you can breathe it, yes, but your eyes water and your nose runs. This is not something you should aim for at home.
It cannot be denied that the mucous membranes of our nose require a certain minimum air humidity; below 30%, these mucous membranes no longer function properly, bacteria and viruses can more easily penetrate dried-out mucous membranes and cause inflammations.

Hello Hertwek

Now we actually have completely dry air outside? We couldn’t survive there. Most people think so?? We would all have to stay in our humid, moldy houses!? Still, we go outside. And breathe this wonderfully dry cold air. Yes, and also have a very pleasant feeling. Why? Because dry cold air is the best for humans.

Hello again,
So cozy houses have nothing to do with "moist and moldy." Moist and moldy is a very unpleasant consequence of incorrectly constructed and/or used houses, just as a dry-warm barrack climate is a bad consequence of incorrectly constructed houses.

A runny nose and watery eyes are not pleasant for me; probably hardly anyone else would enjoy winter weather inside the apartment besides you.
How do you actually come to your conclusions, own experiences, teaching, verifiable experiments? I am very interested.

Hello Especially my 60 years of life. And also 40 years in construction. From wintery high mountain construction sites to the Libyan desert, I have seen and experienced everything. (survived) Yes, and also a homeowner. (uninsulated) My problem is, I don't like to write. But I would like to help people. Regards

Hello Tsäme

It is really a pity that NO ONE is interested in our most important food, the breathing air?

Best regards

I can recommend checking out Möbel.de - Möbel Einrichten Wohnen - ICH FIND´S EINFACH on this topic. There are several alternatives for humidification from various manufacturers. I personally had the same problem and then decided on a discreet humidifier porcelain set, as it was also the most affordable alternative. Best regards Norbert
