Summary

Clean rooms are energy-intensive because of cleanliness requirements that result in high airflow rates and system static pressures, and process requirements that result in high cooling loads. Studies have shown that a wide range of clean-room energy efficiencies exist, and facility managers may not be aware of how energy efficient their clean-room facility can be, relative to other clean-room facilities with the same cleanliness requirements. Metrics and benchmarks are an effective way to compare one facility to another and to track the performance of a given facility over time.
