ᐅ Experience with centralized exhaust ventilation systems without heat recovery

Most homeowners probably engage with blogs like this before and during the construction phase and then stop following them. Therefore, I especially thank you for taking the time to respond to my question! From everything I have read here and based on your answer, the exhaust ventilation system seems to me like a good compromise. Unfortunately, today it became clear that the installer hired by our general contractor refuses to install an exhaust ventilation system because he simply considers it outdated technology that brings humid (!) air into the house. Although he could profit from installing this ventilation or a controlled mechanical ventilation system, after 35 years of working with the general contractor, he holds the view that this house does not need any ventilation at all. For me, the exhaust system would have been a reasonable Plan B option in case the air exchange does not work out as planned. We will see how we proceed from here. In any case, thank you for your message!
