Not exactly. What you heat is the inside of your rooms, and a significant part of that heat can be felt as infrared radiation. When you ventilate in a quick and intensive manner, you exchange the air, which becomes cold for a few minutes but you do not cool down the room - because that takes longer. And the cold air has very little mass, so it is easy to re-heat again, and will be warmed by the walls etc.

That doesn't deal with humidity (and other things like pollen in the warmer months).
