OK, so “easy” may not be a word that comes to mind for designing such sensitive environments. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t produce a solid cleanroom design by tackling issues in a logical sequence. This article covers each key step, down to handy application-specific tips for adjusting load calculations, planning exfiltration paths, and angling for adequate mechanical room space relative to the cleanroom’s class.
