Back when I had a German roommate, he would ventilate heavily every day, by completely opening a window on each end, for about five minutes, usually causing wind to traverse the whole apartment at high throughput. Including in Winter. The practice did not make sense to me until I learned it had a name: "Stoßlüftung", translatable as "shock ventilation".
Various reports indicate that this is common practice, even required of tenants in some locales, to avoid mold growth. With covid-19, the practice is being recommended as a way to protect oneself from the virus indoor.
And now that, additionally, I've read unverified accounts of heightened concentrations of carbon dioxide in air being bad for cognitive function, I apply Stoßlüftung almost religiously.
