A physicist's view of a smart home

Why?

And how to optimize air exchange costs with a Smart Home

Why is it better to open the curtains at night in a hot climate? And why do adventure novel heroes always prefer to sleep under a roof?

A draft, even a weak one, destroys the thin protective layer of warm and humid air directly adjacent to your skin. As a result, you start losing heat much faster, up to the point of hypothermia. And this can harm your health, sometimes quite significantly

In a poorly insulated house with cold walls and freezing corners, there will be no real comfort. Below is a detailed explanation of why

Hypothermia itself does not lead to illness. BUT! Hypothermia, even local, quickly reduces immunity, and with weakened immunity, it is much easier to catch an infection. And if it were just a cold..

Dry skin? Vascular problems? Cracked lips? Constant allergies and asthmatic children? Perhaps the air humidity in your home is far from optimal

If clothing (or a blanket) doesn't fit snugly enough against the body, a draft can form between the fabric and the skin. Often, it's strong enough to cause inflammation
