Health Centre Upgrades Air Handling System for COVID Safety

infrastructure · 2021 · Zella Clark Health Centre

The Denman Health Centre has upgraded its air handling system to meet new ASHRAE standards for medical facilities, increasing fresh outside air intake and installing an Energy Recovery Unit alongside existing air filtration, heat pump, and UV light purification systems.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
