Workshop: From Cleanroom. To Greenroom.
Sustainable and Energy-Efficient Cleanroom Operations
Cleanrooms are among the most energy-intensive infrastructures in modern industry. At the same time, requirements for sustainability, energy efficiency, and regulatory documentation are increasing.
The workshop “From Cleanroom to Greenroom” demonstrates practical approaches to optimizing energy consumption, process stability, and operating costs in cleanroom operations.
Using real-world examples from IMS CHIPS’ cleanroom operations, participants learn how to:
- Identify key drivers of energy consumption and CO₂ emissions in cleanroom operations
- Evaluate measures to improve energy efficiency
- Develop prioritized roadmaps for implementation
A guided cleanroom tour and an interactive simulation exercise provide direct insights into real processes and decision-making.
Workshop Content
- Sustainability strategies for cleanrooms
- Best practices from industry and research
- Analysis of potential energy savings and CO₂ emission reductions
- Identification and prioritization of effective measures
- Funding opportunities and implementation perspectives
The workshop is conducted in collaboration with Fraunhofer IWU, combining technological expertise with industry-proven methods.
Target Audience
The workshop is designed for:
- Cleanroom operators
- Energy and sustainability managers
- Production managers
- Chief Technology Officers (CTOs) and Chief Operating Officers (COOs)
- Professionals responsible for industrial infrastructure
