Ventilation prevents mold

The energy advice service of the Baden-Württemberg consumer center recommends regular ventilation in winter. Damp air in the apartment can cause unhealthy mold on the walls. To prevent the formation of mold, one should ventilate by opening windows three to five times a day for at least five minutes.
