*Fundamentals of Cleanroom Design Including Energy Efficiency Using ISO 14644-4 and ISO 14644-16
Instructor: Norman Goldschmidt
The ISO 14644 family of standards is constantly evolving, with new sections being added to address emerging cleanliness requirements as our understanding of environmental control increases. Amongst the most transformative new section is ISO 14644-16 Energy Efficiency in cleanrooms. This standard discusses reducing the energy intensity of cleanrooms and benchmarking for continuous improvement. Section ISO 14644-4 is similarly transformative with its leverage of risk tools and focus on understanding of cleanroom operations.
It’s rare for a standard to signal a change in industry approach and best practice; but that’s what ISO 14644-16 and -4 have done. As an industry we have been using air change rates as a primary design criterion going all the way back to Willis Whitfield in 1960. These standards cement the dilution calculation and CFD modeling as the accepted best practices in cleanroom design. It’s not the only factor in the design of cleanrooms that these standards discuss, but it may be one of the most impactful.
In this class we will review these two standards in total, discussing the new features and the intention of the authors. For cleanroom designers, builders and operators the key take-away will be:
- Clean Build Protocols
- Understanding and picking a calculation method
- Real world experience using dilution calculation and modeling
- Risk Assessment
- Energy Benchmarking
- Configuration for high reliability

* Cleanroom Classification and Monitoring Using ISO 14644-1 and ISO 14644-2
Instructor: Hasim Solmaz
ISO 14644-1 and 14644-2 are the cornerstone international cleanroom standards, essential for all contamination control professionals. This course covers the nuts and bolts of ISO 14644-1:2015, Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments—Part 1: Classification of air cleanliness by particle concentration, and ISO 14644-2: 2015, Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments—Part 2: Monitoring to provide evidence of cleanroom performance related to air cleanliness by particle concentration. This full-day course also includes a brief overview of the entire ISO 14644 series to help you become familiar with the breadth of this essential International Standards Series.

*Fundamentals of Cleanroom Operations with the New Changes to ISO 14644-5
Instructor: Anne Marie Dixon
ISO 14644-5 was issued originally in 2004. The standard has been totally revised and is at the DIS level. This course will address the “new” requirements which include the establishment of an Operation control programme to ensure efficient cleanroom operation within specified cleanliness levels and Impact Assessments. The Operations Control Programme includes management of personnel, entry and exit of personnel and materials, cleaning, maintenance and monitoring. The Impact Assessment is targeted towards maintaining the cleanroom operation within specified limits. This assessment is required to be performed for the start of the routine cleanroom operation and is required be revisited or revised when major modifications or exchange of stationary equipment is foreseen.
