With the ventilation system, you should make sure that the filters can be procured cheaply and replaced easily. With us, there was no choice; we now have to use such cassettes. The advantage is that you can't do it wrong. The disadvantage is that they cost significantly more than a meter of this filter fleece.
We once lived for a day without the ventilation system because I forgot to plug it back in after cleaning. You immediately noticed how everything became damp; water collected on the inside of the windowpane and the climate wasn't very good either. It seemed strange to me, so I checked what was going on. Plugged it in, ran it full blast for a few hours, and everything was great again.
We dry our soaking wet laundry completely in the upstairs bathroom without ventilation. The room is always dry except for the freshly hung laundry. After a few hours of hanging fresh laundry, I open the window for 1-2 minutes; the moist warm air disappears in a rush, and then it doesn't get damp again.
I wouldn't build without such a system anymore!
