Last night there was a thing on TV about the Germans swing the doors open in the middle of winter to get brand new air in their place and to lower the moisture levels. And Germany can be pretty cold in winter.

I absolutely LOVE this time of year and fall here in Arizona (not hell Arizona--Phoenix; I'm in the mountains). Basically all of March-May, my windows and french doors are wide open. Now (late May/June), we use the AC in the day and then turn it off and open windows/doors at night. Fall (~mid-Sep-late Nov) is the same with no AC and no heater.
I feel it really keeps the house just nice and fresh with lots of air blowing through.
