Can anyone volunteers help me with this principle?

After seeing lots of conversions on this site and touring a Haulmark in person, I sense that conversions are designed to be sealed up, doors/windows closed so the air conditoning/ventilation system can cool the cabin or provide circulation as compared to opening many large windows and skylights for natural ventilation on mild days.

My question is: Why don't conversions have larger opening windows so more natural ventilation can occur rather than relying on a generator to operate a ventilation system?

Does one generally run the generator for ventilation at all times, part of the time, only when it's hot, only when folks are awake...?

Comments?
