One of the outstanding features of the Estes Valley Community Center is our state of the art HEPA air filtration is our Trane Technologies, Inc., HVAC system. HEPA, or High-Efficiency Particulate Air, is a standard that must remove 99.97% of particles whose diameter is 0.3 micron from the air that passes through.

According to Brandon McGowen, the EVCC Maintenance Manager, our 75,000 sq. ft. facility has five large commercial  units that perform up to 10 air changes per hour (ACH). That’s the equivalent of the entire volume of our building’s air being exchanged every 6 minutes! McGowen commented, “We have over 240 square feet of HEPA filter surface, and use the highest quality Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV)-13 HEPA filters available for our system. These filters can capture 0.3 micron particles. A COVID-19 virus is estimated to be 0.12 micron. Our filters are 98.1% effective in capturing these smaller particles.” 

We were pleased to be awarded LEVEL-UP Certification by the Larimer County Department of Health based on our high standard of sanitization protocols and our state of the art HVAC system with HEPA filtration. It’s our mission to provide you a safe, healthy place for your fitness goals. If you haven’t been back to the Estes Valley Community Center yet, stop by. We would love to show you our flexible membership and pass options. We’re here for you.
