In the winter, it can be hard to get fresh air in the house without wasting a lot of heat. Here are some ideas:

* Don't open the window "just a crack". Instead, open '''all''' the windows at once for just a few minutes, let the air flow through, and then close them completely. This gives you the most bang for your buck - the most air for the least cold. {{talk|TODO: Discuss the physics of why this works - in fact, maybe we still need to do more research first to see whether it actually does.}}
* Let's invent a "portable heat exchanger" that can connect to the window, pumping in fresh air that first gets warmed by the stale air. {{npn}}
* <small>Discussion: [[Environmental impact of air fresheners vs opening the window in the winter]] to get rid of smells</small>
