Stuffy air and mold are not directly related.
Damp/moldy walls develop as follows:
Indoors there is a high absolute humidity. Due to missing insulation or other thermal bridges, there are lower temperatures on the wall or window (below the dew point, can be calculated).
Here the water in the air condenses, the wall becomes damp and eventually mold appears.
This can also occur in the window reveal with permanent tilt.
That is why many window manufacturers, for example, also say that windows in old buildings should not have too good a U-value, because otherwise it will mold. But this is not due to the U-value, rather it is because the old window was practically ventilated by force.
And on the new, tight window the water then settles and not on the wall.
Mold therefore depends not only on ventilation but also on heating. Especially in this constellation it becomes critical in new buildings. A solid new building certainly takes a good two years until the introduced water is gone.
If this meets incorrect heating behavior, it quickly becomes critical.
