 For occupants, the most important planning aspects are health and comfort. Excellent air quality is especially essential and can only be achieved if "used" air is regularly replaced by fresh air. Opening windows twice a day is not enough (see [[[planning:building services:Ventilation:Basics:Types of ventilation#Purge ventilation through windows]]). Comfort ventilation based on the requirements for fresh air is therefore indispensable in every [[basics:what_is_a_passive_house|Passive House]]. A regular, guaranteed and adequate exchange of air in winter is only possible by means of comfort ventilation –  this also applies for ordinary new buildings. The issue here is not energy efficiency, but the health of the building's occupants; Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has a much higher priority than energy conservation - but it turns out that there is no conflict at all, if efficient components are used. For occupants, the most important planning aspects are health and comfort.
