Do I require a fresh air intake for my fan coil (forced air system)?

I have a Bosch in slab heating system in the basement and the upstairs is heated with a fancoil. Heat is derived from my domestic hot water system which is also heated by the Bosch Boiler. Why would I need, or do I, nedd fresh air to the fan coil?

Ron,
The main reason you might want to introduce a little fresh air to your house would be if your home's thermal envelope (floors, walls, and ceiling) are relatively airtight.
