If my indoor humidity is about the same as outside why would opening a window help? Wouldnt it just match the humidity level?

Re: Condensation

You need to leave the blinds open if only slightly. The warm, room-side, heat needs to be able to circulate and move along the glass to keep it warm. When you have the blinds closed, the windows don't have access to any warmth and the temperature will eventually plummet to a point where dew point h...

Condensation

I just moved into a house that was built in 2013 in the Chicagoland area. They have Pella proline windows which was manufactured during the period they had issues. The windows seem not to be rotting.
