I feel better closing windows to keep pollen, humidity, mold, dirt out and running A/C all summer.
I know some elderly who think they are saving money by opening windows and only turning A/C when house is very hot. Their house smells like a moldy sock too.
So I decided to crunch some numbers. Please check my math, could be wrong. If you have a 2000 sq ft house with 8 ft wally, you have 16000 cubic ft of air. Say humidity is 100%.

It seems to me like A/C's never stop pulling moisture out, so a gallon is a consertive figure.
