A19 -- Data Processing and Electronic Office Areas (I-P)

Design of clean spaces or cleanrooms covers much more than traditional temperature and humidity control. Other factors may include control of particle, microbial, electrostatic discharge (ESD), molecular, and gaseous contamination; airflow pattern control; pressurization; sound and vibration control; life safety; industrial engineering aspects; and manufacturing equipment layout. The objective of good cleanroom design is to control these variables while optimizing installation and operating costs.
