No reason a ventilation fan can't be installed - that's standard on modern air-conditioned and insulated houses (a "whole-house fan") precisely in order to rotate the air.
That might help, but it's not quite the same as a nice summer breeze flowing through your house.
Great but they should avoid burning wood in highly populated area. Because it is generating a lot of small particules, worse than a car.

Around here, it's not unusual to get half a metre of snow overnight. The greenhouse these people built is made from glass and it's difficult to see it surviving a proper winter. Another problem with this is humidity. I wonder how they deal with possi…
It's a 10 year old house so it has survived a few winters already...in Sweden.
