Core versus Aero: which system is appropriate?

Different primary roles

ONYX Core recirculates indoor air through a concealed ducted unit, removes moisture and returns drier, filtered air to the living spaces. It can also process a controlled quantity of outdoor fresh air mixed with indoor return air.

ONYX Aero is intended where continuous fresh-air treatment matters, combining ventilation and dehumidification with integrated energy recovery.

Fresh air is not exclusive to Aero

Core 70 and Core 120 both accept a controlled quantity of fresh air mixed with indoor return air. The difference is emphasis: Aero is designed around continuous fresh-air treatment.

Energy recovery

In Aero, outgoing conditioned air helps precondition incoming hot and humid outdoor air, which may reduce load compared with untreated direct fresh-air introduction. Recovery performance depends on outdoor conditions, airflow rates and system design; no fixed percentage saving is published without a project-specific calculation.

How the decision is made

Selection follows an assessment of moisture load, fresh-air requirement, available service space, duct routes, drainage and the property's operating pattern — not floor area alone.
