The more you are able to slow heat loss, through rigorous control of infiltration (will require a very high efficiency HRV), and heat loss through walls (insulate > 2X the required insulation in you area)...
...And also use construction that will prevent thermal bridging (which will eat away 18% of your insulation value), the less you will need to heat and cool your house.
Just imagine, silent comfort with no moving parts, due to proper design of your structure.
