Now that the temperature outside has dropped, the windows start to accumulate water vapor. I am assuming that it might also lead to that black stuff forming. Is there a more efficient way of dealing with the condensate than wiping it dry every day?

    The issue is that you typically don’t have any excess humidity in winter. Health wise you want 40 to 60 (or 50 to 60, depends on the source) percent humidity are ideal and with a lot of ventilation you’ll quickly drop below that. Hence you might actually want to think about adding more humidity to the air (e.g. with plants or a humidifier).

    You’re definitely right about walls though.

      If you have condensation issues, you definitely don’t need to add more water to your air

      Get a swamp cooler. They are cheap and effective. You can also makeshift one by putting a wet towel in front of a fan. And get a humidity meter they cost like 4$.
