PRESENTATION:
THE RIGHT LEVELS OF "CLEAN"
FOR ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY ENVIRONMENTS
PART I - ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
Nanoscience research facilities
do not require the same level of "clean" that
microelectronics production plants do. Creating "clean"
space is costly, so you want to make sure you don't
specify higher levels of "clean" than are
necessary, or more clean space than you need. Here Abbie
Gregg and Craig Rossrucker set out a strategic planning
process for deciding levels of cleanliness. This presentation
addresses the questions that users need to ask and implications
of the answers.
Future presentations will illustrate
how to achieve those levels at the lowest possible cost.
Using current project information, they examine the
spectrum of options ranging from cost-effective cleanroom
designs to micro-environments, and set out guidelines
for making "clean-cost-flexibility" decisions.

PRESENTATION
(Norm Toussaint, William Acorn and Chris Case):
OUTLINING TRENDS AND DEVELOPING SOLUTIONS:
MECHANICAL AND PROCESS SYSTEMS
Buildings that are designed and constructed
to support advanced technology needs can differ greatly from
conventional institutional and industrial facilities. Examples
of these building types include forensics laboratories, biological
research laboratories, and nanotechnology laboratories. Differences
range from environmental (temperature and humidity criteria)
to functional (for example, the desire to locate "interactive
spaces" close to laboratories, with resulting concerns
about hazardous material or contaminant migration and effect
of non-controlled adjacent spaces on sensitive equipment and
operations). It is critical that the owner and design team
clearly understand these differences. The decisions necessary
to meet advanced technical requirements must frequently be
made during the programming and early design process, and
the solutions are frequently multi-discipline in nature.
In this forum, the panel will highlight
current trends in mechanical and process system requirements
for advanced technology facilities, and discuss solutions
that address these requirements.
Among the topics that will be discussed:
- Questioning the need or appropriate class of cleanrooms
for critical R&D, metrology, and assembly functions
- Definition of temperature and humidity stability criteria
- Evaluation of alternative fume hood technologies
- Energy conservation strategies, and compliance with energy
codes such as ASHRAE 90.1
- Requirements for hazardous material storage and handling,
and implications for user facilities
- Comparison of central vs. distributed process systems
- Baselining and improving water use efficiency
A number of solutions to these
and other design challenges will be presented in the form
of case studies of recent advanced technology facility projects.

PRESENTATION:
ELECTRICAL POWER, EMI and GROUNDING
A panel will discuss
issues and methods to mitigate problems associated with
power disturbances, extremely low frequency (ELF) and
radio frequency (RF) interference, and/or grounding
issues.
Power disturbances from external
and internal sources may affect the performance of
sensitive electronic equipment. These affects may
be mitigated by the application of various types of
power conditioning equipment and/or by varying the
configuration of the power distribution system in
a way to provide cleaner power to the sensitive equipment.
With good preplanning, many
of the common extremely low frequency (60 hertz) magnetic
field sources found in a laboratory building can be
located away form the laboratory spaces. Where magnetic
field sources are required in or near the lab as part
of its basic operation, a mixture of shielding techniques
using various construction materials and methods along
with actual shielding materials can be provided to
maintain the necessary environment. Radio frequency
shielding may be required at sensitive labs and/or
at the building envelope.
Good grounding practices
can solve or reduce many power quality problems. The
use of ground buses at the lab benches, bonded directly
to the local transformer ground, can provide the reference
ground sensitive lab equipment requires.

PRESENTATION
(Tom Gerbo, Ken Filar, David Gibney):
CAUSE AND EFFECT: TRENDS
IN RESEARCH FACILITY DESIGN
More and more Requests for Qualifications/Proposals
are coming out for world class, integrated interdisciplinary
research facilities. What are the driving forces behind
this kind of facility? Understanding these forces
have led to a variety of design solutions. Science
and technology is converging at a rapid pace under
the umbrella of nanotechnology. Scientific breakthroughs
such as the development and commercialization of the
carbon nanotube, the atomic force microscope, and
mapping the human genome have led to a new brand of
science bridging the basic and applied sciences. Environmental
conditions in the laboratory are becoming more restrictive.
Social factors such as vertically integrated research
groups and a generational shift in work philosophy,
as well as steep competition among institutions have
had a profound impact on the types of spaces and the
configuration of those spaces. Geopolitical forces
have influenced safety and security. New regulations
and standards are also having an effect on the design
of research facilities. Finally, budgets are getting
tighter whole instrumentation costs are rising.
In this session Tom Gerbo, Ken
Filar and David Gibney will look at the root causes
and resulting effects for these facilities and design
solutions that have been employed to address these
unique requirements of the nanoscience facility. Mr.
Gerbo and Mr. Filar will address the programmatic
drivers behind these facilities and discuss specific
projects that are designed to these parameters. David
Gibney will look in depth at the impact of Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design and will discuss
the requirements of LEED certification.

PRESENTATION
(Tom Gerbo, Ken Filar, David Gibney):
CAUSE AND EFFECT: TRENDS
IN RESEARCH FACILITY DESIGN
More and more Requests for Qualifications/Proposals
are coming out for world class, integrated interdisciplinary
research facilities. What are the driving forces behind
this kind of facility? Understanding these forces
have led to a variety of design solutions. Science
and technology is converging at a rapid pace under
the umbrella of nanotechnology. Scientific breakthroughs
such as the development and commercialization of the
carbon nanotube, the atomic force microscope, and
mapping the human genome have led to a new brand of
science bridging the basic and applied sciences. Environmental
conditions in the laboratory are becoming more restrictive.
Social factors such as vertically integrated research
groups and a generational shift in work philosophy,
as well as steep competition among institutions have
had a profound impact on the types of spaces and the
configuration of those spaces. Geopolitical forces
have influenced safety and security. New regulations
and standards are also having an effect on the design
of research facilities. Finally, budgets are getting
tighter whole instrumentation costs are rising.
In this session Tom Gerbo, Ken
Filar and David Gibney will look at the root causes
and resulting effects for these facilities and design
solutions that have been employed to address these
unique requirements of the nanoscience facility. Mr.
Gerbo and Mr. Filar will address the programmatic
drivers behind these facilities and discuss specific
projects that are designed to these parameters. David
Gibney will look in depth at the impact of Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design and will discuss
the requirements of LEED certification.
