Alex, if it turns out like that, thank God we built our house when we did. Living in a plastic bag with styrofoam insulation—terrible. The windows are probably screwed shut, and if the mechanical ventilation system fails, you suffocate. Your eyes constantly itch and everyone gets asthma because of the dry air.
No way. The EU? Seriously? Poland, Greece, and Slovakia are going along with this nonsense? I just can’t believe it. Karsten

I also don’t understand Karsten’s argument and would prefer a passive house as well. At least a controlled mechanical ventilation system. However, this was difficult to implement during the renovation.
Anyway, it depends on the user. The house is built for the occupant, and they have to live with it. They need to determine their own needs and then build the house accordingly.

Regarding haydee.
There are many reasons to keep windows open in winter and otherwise. Morning routine, open window. First coffee outside in a bathrobe, like this morning at 8 a.m., open kitchen window after cooking. The bedroom window stays open all night. Always. No matter the month. Just a brief note. K.

Most of it is eliminated by the controlled residential ventilation system.
If I want to hear birdsong, the window is opened anyway.
Cats come and go regardless.
Hopefully, my husband will suffer less from allergies.

I think renovating in a way that requires and makes controlled residential ventilation necessary and reasonable is difficult and expensive. There isn’t much left except the shell construction. One change leads to another.

I think I now understand why we have been talking past each other. Wolfgang Jahnke, the precise person. Great book. A stream is a water vein and it murmurs. A forest is wood and stands dark and silent. Himmel is sky and heaven. In a house, there is good air, controlled residential ventilation, and what prevails is the love of fresh air. Windows open. These are two different levels, factual and emotional. Karsten
