Mechanical ventilation is a fundamental principle of Passive House design. It is absolutely vital given how airtight Passive House buildings are, and it helps ensure that those inside get a steady supply of fresh, filtered air all day long. For that reason, the components that provide ventilation are often referred to as the lungs of the building.
