Personal anecdote getting an airthings that reminds me to open the window (along with a pushover api setup) has probably been the biggest productivity improvement in 10 years.

It's kinda worrying you need an app / appliance to remember to open the window. Rule of thumb is to have the windows open at least 10 minutes a day, every day.

You realize a lot of us live in places where that would be very expensive? Not to mention that the HVAC plants are usually not sized with that in mind.

Why is opening the window expensive? Climate control?

Yep, it's cold outside. So there's a CO2, energy, comfort (choose two) tradeoff.
