No additional windows?

How often do you open the doors for ventilation while your´re

heating

?

Do you open your

for ventilation too?

A sufficient supply of fresh air is very important for the indoor climate. Incorrect ventilation and heating or very strong insulation prevent an automatic exchange of humid air.

In order to ensure adequate air circulation in winter, you have to be careful not to set the heating too high. Wet windows come about when the yurt is in a tropical climate of hot and wet.

Maybe you should try to solve first the condensation issues and second focus to reduce the consumption.
