My career, before long covid, was designing and green-building housing (and gardens). Mostly small multi unit, tho, no big ones
Buildings are designed to 'leak' enough that, without forced air and never opening a window, nobody will get woozy or die from co2. This is a requirement. Especially in an old building, you don't have to worry about bringing in more outside air
If you seal and/or filter all vents, and run a hepa filter as close to 24/7 as possible, that should be fine. In my humid climate, I also run a dehumidifier daily, when bathing or doing dishes especially
An additional option, which I have implemented, is to install a hepa filter machine in a window, sealing the edges. I run it when I have an exhaust fan going, e.g. the clothes dryer
Bc i am suspender and belt, i also wear a mask and run my indoor hepas when doing that
