But ventilation costs money to heat up the cold incoming air.
Best to reduce ventilation as far as practicable.

Well yes and no. Houses need ventilation, it's more a question of

Go closed cycle.
Just electrolyse the output from the dehumidifier, add lots of plants and
light, a charcoal scrubber, and you're golden.
