What this episode covers

Chris and Phil take on the suddenly trendy idea of “house burping” and ask where opening the windows actually helps, and where it falls short. They talk through Lüften, CO2 buildup, VOCs, ERVs, HRVs, and why fresh air matters for comfort, health, and energy performance. For architects, builders, and building science nerds, it is a reminder that ventilation is not just about getting air in. It is about controlling how it moves.
