How to automatically open a regular window

home-automationwindows

In the winter I always face an issue where I occasionally need to ventilate the room whenever the air feels "stiff". I cannot leave the window open since the air is too cold and doing it manually is a bit annoying.

Is there a system I can install on my window to automatically open it remotely? My windows are standard European plastic ones and look approximate like this:

Not really. There are plenty of ventilation systems in use, but it would be cumbersome and expensive to involve windows.

Exhaust fans do the job by sending stale air out. This creates a very slight low pressure condition inside the home, so that even if there's no "makeup air" or air exchange system installed, air will be drawn in through the many small leaks any home has.

I strongly suggest that you install a digital/smart timer on your bath fan or furnace so that you can run them on a schedule or on demand, instead of seeking a motorized apparatus that's likely to be unsightly and noisy.
