Cleanroom optimization & energy efficiency

This project aims to reduce the energy consumption of clean rooms by 30%, which represent up to 70% of total expenditure. By rethinking the classification, volumes and ventilation methods, it makes it possible to adapt their operation to real needs and to exploit efficient technological engines, while benefiting from subsidies.

background

Clean rooms, which are essential for sensitive production environments, consume a disproportionate part of total energy due to overly restrictive initial practices and overqualification of installations. In fact, up to 70% of energy consumption is allocated to their management, while their level of classification, sometimes excessive, leads to expenses that are maintained 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In this context, the project proposes a complete revision of the energy architecture of clean rooms by carrying out a detailed mapping of the installations and practices in place.

It will be a question of reducing volumes, reviewing the level of classification and renewal rates to adapt the operation in busy or unoccupied mode, in particular by modulating the ventilation according to production. In addition, the introduction of latest-generation engines and consumption reduction technologies, combined with energy reuse devices and the use of renewable energies, will contribute to significant savings. The expected benefits will result in an overall reduction in expenses, with savings estimated at €273,000 and additional grants of €100,000 thanks to Energy Savings Certificates (CEE).

Customer needs

The customer wants to thoroughly review the management of clean rooms in order to limit their energy expenses and reduce the overqualification of installations. He expects a global solution based on the optimization of the volume configuration, a revision of the classification level and the implementation of innovative technologies for the management of ventilation. This approach should make it possible to generate substantial savings, while promoting concrete actions to conserve energy, reuse flows and use renewable energies, accompanied by subsidies via the mechanisms of Energy Savings Certificates (CEE).

Specificity of the mission

The mission consists in rethinking the energy functioning of clean rooms based on a detailed analysis of current practices and a detailed mapping of installations. The objective is to significantly reduce volumes and the level of classification in order to align consumption with real production needs. By adopting ventilation methods that alternate between occupied and unoccupied periods and by integrating new technology drivers, the approach also makes it possible to optimize energy flows, promote reuse and turn to renewable solutions, thus ensuring total control of energy costs.
