'Breathing' is already used for the exchange of outside and inside air for homes. In many contexts it is about the difference in internal and external humidity!

The door frame moving as part of that exchange is close, but not quite accurate.

the door and doorframe swelling from humidity is literally like certain body parts swelling from additional liquids, so you could tell them your foor frame is in heat.

I don't know if they'll appreciate it, but they need to know!
