ᐅ Fewer operable windows with mechanical ventilation with heat recovery

Hello,
Would you partially forgo openable windows in a new build with controlled residential ventilation? More fixed panes or only casement windows instead of tilt windows?
Manual ventilation is no longer desired then.

Cooking odors
Overheating from the sun in winter
Smells from new furniture glue
House parties
Forgetting to take out the trash
None of these can be fully handled by mechanical ventilation alone; opening the windows for 5 minutes helps.
I’m also a fan of mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, but it definitely has its limits...

However, I find it quite significant. After all, you not only save on the sashes but also on the entire RC-related components. You can save around 1000€ or more per unit. The larger window area and the nicer view are additional benefits.
We will have a lot of fixed glazing. However, this does not affect safety issues. Fixed glazing is just somewhat less expensive.
Nevertheless, we have enough and large openings for manual ventilation.
Our mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) system is very generously sized and also designed for active cooling, so the examples mentioned by Bookstar could be quickly managed by the MVHR system.
Even a standard-sized MVHR system exchanges the air faster than manual ventilation.
Openable elements are often desired for psychological reasons as well.
Our guest room will not have an openable window. My wife was completely against it, even though one entire wall is fully glazed.
A good tip is to consider ease of cleaning. If access is difficult, it’s better to install an openable element.
