Is it true that opening windows reduces indoor humidity?
Partly. One peer-reviewed study reports that natural ventilation through floor-level windows increased indoor humidity, while US EPA guidance advises briefly opening a window to reduce excess indoor moisture. Neither source directly measures whether opening windows lowers indoor humidity, so the evidence only partially addresses the claim and points in both directions.
