    Efficiency?

    I guess the raw materials that you put into your lungs come out mostly unchanged. When compared to say a fire I guess. Did that help?

      I don’t see what it has to do with anything. I guess you’re implying that by merit of lungs being less efficient the composition of air doesn’t matter as much, but it very much does, you dont want any toxic gases nor components being too high or too low, just like you wouldn’t want piss in your gas tank regardless if it’s a new or old car.

        Buildup of co2 in a home comes from the people living in it. That blower unit is literally just moving the air around. It doesn’t add or take away anything but heat energy.

          I’m not claiming that AC units emit Co2 (other than at power plants).The problem is with closing windows and doors. I guess people see thing on the wall blowing cold air and assume it’s coming from outside, which it is not, and skip on airing the room they’re in, which, while not immediately hazardous, has detrimental health effects.

            Houses aren’t hermetically sealed. Unless you are using a gas stove or something like that, there is no issue.
