Yes, but modern humidity controls are able to regulate moisture levels while also reclaiming heat. That is, if you open all the windows your warm/cool air will flow out while fresh air flows in; an energy recovery ventilator will partially precondition the fresh air as it flows into the house, using the outgoing air as the source.
