Measuring and managing clean-room energy use.

Author(s) : TSCHUDI W., MILLS E., XU T., et al.

Type of article: Article, Case study

Summary

Combining high air-recirculation rates and energy-intensive processes, clean rooms are 20 to 100 times as costly to operate on a per-square-foot basis as conventional commercial buildings. Additionally, they operate 24 hr a day, seven days a week, which means their electricity demand always is contributing to peak utility-system demand, an important fact given increasing reliance on time-dependent tariffs. The article discusses findings from an extensive study of energy use in 28 clean rooms.
