Now it makes total sense. But for real, that bit about commercial buildings is the stuff I talk about. Sometimes it's freezing and it has its toll in health too.

im not sure how much of a toll on health it would have, unless maybe you're deathly allergic to air. Aside from like environmental impacts and stuff obviously, but there's gotta be a reason lol.

seems like standards exist, another proposed idea i've seen is oversized HVAC, which would make sense.
