I live and own a passive house: Feel free to ask questions :)

Can you address any of the intuitive concerns around the air freshness and getting enough O~2~ and removing enough CO~2~ ?

How much is the air exchange process a complex active process that you need to monitor and maintain, or is it pretty basic and “just works”?

I would say “Pretty basic just works” it was adjusted during construction of the house and as long as you don’t do any fundamental changes to ventilation system there is no need to readjust.
