pH buffers work by consuming carbon dioxide from the water column, basically. Aeration will bring carbon dioxide back into the water fairly quickly for most tanks. Fresher air might help. I agree that more closed windows will tend to bring down the pH, as will having more people indoors. Gas utilities, like a heater, sometimes have the same effect.
