To stay comfy and avoid window condensation when it’s super cold, keep your home’s humidity in check. It’s best to link humidity controls to the outdoor temp and seal those sneaky air leaks that can push moisture into walls. Go for humidifiers that spread moisture evenly. Decent airflow and well-insulated windows are also a big plus for dodging mold and rot!

Incorporate air-to-air heat recovery ssystems to balance moisture and ventilation, avoid localized condensation,

Ensure windows and walls stay above dew point and preventing rot.
