Modern Ventilation for Modern Healthcare: The Clinique Jules Verne Project in Quebec

Blauberg North America, in partnership with The Master Group, supplied two BlauAir BLL27 modular rooftop air handling units for the newly built Clinique Jules Verne medical complex in Quebec City, Canada.

Clinique Jules Verne is a modern, multi-specialty healthcare facility that brings together a family medicine clinic and a wide range of specialized medical services under one roof. The facility was designed to meet today's standards for patient comfort, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality. The four-storey building offers more than 5,000 m² (54,000 sq ft) of floor space. To make the project possible, the City of Québec amended its zoning regulations, as the existing bylaws did not permit the construction of an outpatient healthcare facility of this scale.

To provide the indoor air quality required for a healthcare setting, the building is equipped with two BlauAir BLL27 rooftop air handling units, each delivering approximately 15,900 CFM (~27,000 m³/h) of airflow.

Designed for large commercial and institutional buildings, the BlauAir BLL series features a modular platform that can be configured to meet the specific requirements of each project. This flexibility allows engineers to achieve the optimal balance of airflow performance, energy efficiency, and long-term operational reliability.

For the Clinique Jules Verne project, Blauberg supplied the BLL27 L/SE/R/O-HE configuration, featuring a high-efficiency rotary heat recovery wheel, a weatherproof rooftop design, and an electric heating section to maintain comfortable supply air temperatures during Canada's cold winter months. This configuration significantly reduces heating energy consumption while ensuring reliable, year-round ventilation.

In addition to their high airflow capacity, BlauAir air handling units offer extensive configuration options, seamless integration with Building Management Systems (BMS), easy maintenance, and long service life. Their rooftop installation helps maximize usable indoor space, provides convenient service access, and minimizes the impact of HVAC equipment on occupied areas.

Delivered in partnership with Master Group, the Clinique Jules Verne project demonstrates how Blauberg’s modular air handling solutions can meet the demanding airflow, energy-efficiency, and operational requirements of modern healthcare facilities.
