Disadvantage and advantage of controlled residential ventilation system are known as far as whether you get mold problems without controlled residential ventilation if you do not ventilate the house about 10 times a day, this is the statement from those who have such systems or the people who build or manufacture them. I know many who live in new buildings (at least Kfw 70), ventilate twice a day and have no mold problems like, for example, @Egon 12 and . (Counterexample to the above statement). My personal opinion: many companies that make money through controlled residential ventilation system create panic and increase the demand for such systems. Those who install/have such systems installed because of fear of mold in new buildings can save their money, unless you have endless money, want to gain more comfort and have no problems with controlled residential ventilation system (e.g. sensitive to partially too dry air). Ventilation should/must be done in any case, whether manually or automatically. Back to the topic of windows, I would definitely choose double-leaf (with 151 cm width, I find guest WC more comfortable with small windows but I will think it over, read opinions and decide later.
