Well can anybody explain me that? It just doesn´t make sense to my south European point of view. Back home, when it´s freezing, we turn on any warming device and then close the windows to keep the space warm… is that behaviour that weird? And closing the doors and windows when the room is warm, is such behaviour that bizarre
Tell me about it- I have been trying to figure this one out myself. None of us would need to buy all of these extra clothes/heating devices if they simply kept the buildings warm. The whole windows open thing drives me crazy- half of my office are sick with colds/coughs and wonder why they are sick. Maybe because you have the window wide open and it is 3 degrees inside?! I am from the North of England which is certainly colder than Chengdu, but winter just doesn’t feel as bad because you know when you get indoors you will be warm. I definitely think the idea here of “keeping the windows open to let out the germs” was started by an electric blanket/thermal clothing company.
