Hello everyone,
we are currently planning our solid-built house without insulation. However, we are unsure whether to install a central ventilation system. The general opinion, for example in forums, is that such a system should definitely be included in a new build. Reasons given are comfort, continuous air circulation, and so on—well known points. It is also understood that it may not be energy-efficient.
BUT: I have already spoken to one or two architects who say: definitely build without it. Their reason is that everything works fine initially, but after 5 to 6 years hygienic problems can occur despite maintenance. Based on their experience, most installed systems are eventually turned off and no longer used. Some doctors also confirm this and would not install such systems themselves. Their argument is: for prefabricated houses, yes, because necessary. For solid-built houses without insulation, no.
I am torn. On one hand, I want to stay up to date with what makes sense; on the other hand, I don’t want to install something that will be switched off after a few years anyway.
I am completely unsure now whether to choose it or not and hope to get some opinions from you!
Thank you very much in advance!

Yes, of course there is dust, it has been running for three years and we don’t have clean rooms here... shortly after the photo was taken, the rotors looked tidy again after vacuuming and brushing...
My system is relatively simple... you remove 6 screws and the front cover comes off... the internal components are simply plugged in and can be pulled out to the front as needed...

If you add pocket filters to the 2-3 exhaust vents, the indoor air will be dust-free as well. Something like "microdust" might still get through, but I bet there are other spots in the house where more dirt and dust accumulate (under the bed, behind/on cabinets, in the keyboard, etc.).
