Mechanical Ventilation System for home

I'm building a house and looking for a better air ventilation system. I came across Mechanical Ventilation Systems, which seem to be quite popular in European countries. However, I haven’t found any Indian brands or companies that offer installation for this system.

Has anyone here installed one in their home? How else are you managing cross-ventilation
?

This did come up on a quick google search but since these are unknown companies with not much info, I'm very sceptical on it's warranty and service.

Cross ventilation depends on which direction the wind blows, how many obstacles you have in front of your house, and how your windows and doors are placed.

I've got a VRF system (HVAC) installed in my house, and it works well, but running it works out to be a little expensive because the outdoor unit consumes about a 100 units a month (if we don't use air-conditioning) just to keep the oil ,which it needs for cooling, warm. Also, since most of the indoor units are far away from the outdoor unit, it will not be as efficient as a regular split A/c, IMO.
Right now, I need to fix the insulation for the A/c pipes because we had a rat problem, and they chewed through the foam in some areas. But, since most of the pipe is inside a POP false ceiling, it's not possible to put new foam everywhere.
We only use the A/c for 1 or 2 rooms at a time, which is why it isn't efficient for us. But if you're using it in all the rooms then I'm sure the equation will change.
Regarding service, since a lot of other flats in my housing society have the same unit, it's not a problem, and as long as you stay in touch with your installer, it shouldn't be a problem for you either.
The biggest benefit of the VRF system is that you don't spoil the exterior facade of your house by having multiple split A/c units outside.
It also does heating, and supposedly, if you're cooling one room, and heating another it's super efficient. But we've never run it in heating mode.
 
I don't know what kind of climate your place has, but back home where we have a drier one, we have a big central honeycomb padding cooler with ducting spread all over the house.
Works extremely well during drier months (AC comparable cooling at 1/5th the cost) and ensures proper ventilation as and when needed.

Sucks during the monsoon though (although just turning the fan on without the water pump is adequate for ventilation).
