[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Since a bunch of people have said radiators, I should mention that we live in townhouses built in 2018 with forced air.[/quote]

NP. Forced air heat is in itself a reason to open windows at times. Forced air is dry and dries out my nose and skin and generally feels gross. Of course you can use room humidifiers or get a whole house humidifier system, but there are other issues with those. Cracking windows (or putting one window all the way up during the day even in winter, on fairly clement days) provides some humidity even though winter air is drier than summer air; it's at least not as dry as forced air heat.

It seems odd to me that it baffles you. Did you grow up in a household where your folks said things like "Close that door/window, you're letting all the heat out, we're not paying to heat the whole outdoors" in winter? Asking seriously. My mom was like that and winter was dusty and dry inside the house (back way before room humidifier were something you just bought easily at any store). [/quote]
