Now that the temperature outside has dropped, the windows start to accumulate water vapor. I am assuming that it might also lead to that black stuff forming. Is there a more efficient way of dealing with the condensate than wiping it dry every day?

    Thank you for the tip! Our windows do have two “ventilation things” on each side that move air in and out. I am assuming they kind of do what the picture shows.

      Eh, not too likely if they go directly into the wall. The trick with the one I’ve mentioned above is the heat exchanger. The warm air from inside passes its heat to the cold air from outside without touching it directly. The water it loses during that runs to the outside pipe and drips off.

        Ah, ok. The ones we have are embedded into the walls. I had a feeling they were just a gimmick)
