As a severe asthma patient, fresh air, as you call it, can be
fatal to me.  I like pure air, which means that I close all the
windows and use filters to process it to remove the outside junk.
I am the child of the generation who likes modern conveniences,
so I keep it set at 71 degrees year around.
