ᐅ Planning a Detached Single-Family Home With or Without Ventilation

Hello,
The construction of my single-family house is set to start in March. Now I have a question. The architect says that a central ventilation system is too expensive and suggests just opening the windows sometimes. My carpool partner used to work as a heating engineer and insists it definitely should be installed in a new build. What do you think, should I install ventilation or skip it? A friend told me that if I do install ventilation, I should have the intake ducts laid under the floor slab right away. What are your thoughts on that?

Would you place the air intake under the slab foundation? The idea is to preheat the air during the coldest winter by drawing it inside through a pipe labyrinth. I can’t say how much that helps. If you use a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery, the intake does not need to be located under the slab foundation.
