Description

The CASA R7 Genius is a compact air handling unit designed to provide balanced ventilation with energy recovery and stable indoor comfort. It is suitable for medium to large residential projects and light commercial applications where reliable airflow and good indoor air quality are essential.

In hot and humid climates such as Thailand, ventilation systems must not only supply fresh air but also manage moisture. The rotary heat exchanger helps reduce the humidity load in incoming air, improving indoor comfort and supporting more efficient cooling.

Typical applications include large houses, villas, multi-floor homes, offices, clinics, and meeting rooms where consistent ventilation and comfort are required.

VentPro selects the CASA R7 Genius for projects where low noise, stable airflow, and humidity control are critical. By reducing the moisture load before the air reaches the cooling system, the unit helps lower energy demand and reduce the risk of condensation and mold.

The unit is typically used as part of a complete system including cooling coils (DX or chilled water), high-efficiency filtration such as PM2.5 and carbon filters, and smart control systems with CO₂, humidity, and VOC sensors.

Key features include demand-controlled ventilation, passive cooling function, intelligent anti-frost protection, compatibility with building management systems (Modbus), and reliable continuous operation.

Technical data

Complete system approach

The CASA R7 Genius is designed as part of a complete ventilation system. VentPro recommends combining the unit with control systems, filtration, and cooling solutions to achieve optimal indoor air quality and performance in tropical climates.

This system-based approach is essential in tropical climates, where ventilation must control not only airflow but also humidity and thermal load.

Control & Automation

The CASA R7 Genius can be equipped with advanced control solutions to optimize airflow, indoor air quality, and energy performance.

  • CASA Genius Control Panel (GC10) – Full system control with user interface
  • CASA Genius Mobile App – Remote control and monitoring via smartphone
  • RH / CO₂ / VOC Sensors – Demand-controlled ventilation based on indoor conditions
  • GC04 Control Switch – Simple boost / home / away control
  • CASA SEM / SEC / SET Modules – Integration with building management systems (Modbus)

These solutions enable demand-controlled ventilation based on real indoor conditions, improving indoor air quality, comfort, and energy efficiency.

Cooling & Heating Integration

For tropical climates such as Thailand, ventilation systems must not only supply fresh air but also manage temperature and humidity.

  • SDCW – Cooling coil for supply air (DX or chilled water)
  • SDHW – Heating coil for supply air
  • SDHW250F – Combined heating/cooling coil for heat pump systems
  • SDHE – Electric duct heater

When combined with the sorption rotor, these components reduce humidity load and allow precise control of supply air conditions, improving indoor comfort and reducing energy demand.

Air Distribution & System Control Components

Additional components are available to optimize system performance and ensure proper airflow distribution.

  • SDD – Motorized duct dampers for airflow control
  • PTH – Pressure control for constant duct pressure
  • CASA WSTC – Room temperature sensor kit

These components support proper system balancing, stable airflow, and improved overall system performance.

Certificates

Certified performance and verified data

The CASA R7 Genius is supported by internationally recognized certifications and third-party test data, ensuring reliable performance, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality.

For projects in Thailand and Southeast Asia, both European and North American standards are relevant. VentPro provides solutions based on verified performance data, not only nominal values.

Eurovent Certification

Eurovent Certified Performance (Europe)

Eurovent certification ensures that airflow, energy efficiency, and heat recovery performance are independently tested and verified according to European standards. This certification is widely required in international and government projects in Thailand.

HVI Certification

HVI – Home Ventilating Institute (North America)

HVI certification verifies airflow and energy performance based on North American standards. These ratings are commonly used by consultants and engineers working with US-based design references.

Passive House Certification

Passive House Institute (PHI)

Selected CASA units are certified by the Passive House Institute (PHI) for high energy efficiency and performance.

Passive House certification is available for different climate zones:

  • Cold and temperate climates – widely certified across CASA product range
  • Hot and humid climates – currently available for selected smaller units (e.g. CASA R3, R4, R5)

Certification for hot and humid climates is still being expanded to additional models. Performance values may differ depending on climate conditions and system design.

For projects in tropical environments such as Thailand, VentPro focuses on real performance related to humidity control, cooling integration, and indoor comfort, rather than relying only on certification labels.

EPD Certification

EPD – Environmental Product Declaration

EPD documentation provides verified environmental data based on life cycle assessment (LCA), supporting sustainable building certifications and green building standards.

Third-party laboratory testing

Performance data for CASA units is validated through independent laboratory testing, including:

  • Siventa laboratory (Europe)
  • Element laboratory (North America – HVI testing)

These tests confirm real performance values for airflow, temperature efficiency, and humidity recovery.

Humidity recovery performance (Sorption rotor technology)

The sorption rotary heat exchanger provides high humidity recovery, typically:

  • Typically 70–80% humidity recovery under normal operating conditions (up to approx. 80% under optimal conditions), helping to reduce moisture load in tropical climates
  • Up to approximately 80% at lower airflow rates

This performance is especially important in tropical climates such as Thailand, where reducing moisture load is critical for indoor comfort, energy efficiency, and prevention of mold and condensation.

Important note on performance values

Efficiency values may vary depending on test standards (Eurovent, HVI, Passive House) and operating conditions such as airflow, humidity, and rotor speed. VentPro provides guidance based on real project conditions in tropical climates.
