ᐅ Which central ventilation system?

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m talking about—the dry air is only noticeable to some extent, and considering it only occurs for a few days a year, I accept it. Alternatively, you could invest in a system with an enthalpy exchanger or a rotary heat exchanger.

@Saruss
That was more or less a rhetorical question...

I have long since upgraded my Wolf system with additional smart controls.

I have already upgraded my Wolf system with additional smart controls

I thought we are here to inform people, so I prefer clear statements over rhetoric.

We are also facing the decision regarding the ventilation system. For me, this topic is both simple and complex at the same time. It should be an easy choice, but then again, it’s not... Without humidity recovery, the air seems to become too dry, but if you include it, you risk bringing additional germs into the house – so what is better?! I’m not going to invest tens of thousands of euros only to end up having to install a humidifier or, alternatively, to have a breeding ground for germs... It’s frustrating. There rarely seems to be a good compromise when building a house. It’s similar with the heating system! It’s annoying.

We have a HOVAL system. I will be able to give a proper report in about a year. The ventilation installer didn’t want to install anything else.

Why is it considered a breeding ground for germs?

I believe this concern is unfounded.
