Low-energy cleanrooms for minimal operating costs. High-efficiency components and data-driven controls keep energy use low throughout the lifetime.
lower energy use and life-cycle cost with the patented VIX concept
Discover how the patented VIX concept and dynamic airflow control lower energy use and life-cycle cost by up to 70%, without giving up cleanroom performance.
Conventional design leads to high long-term operating costs and unnecessary environmental impact.
Cleanrooms can use up to 25 times more energy than commercial buildings. HVAC often accounts for up to 90% of electricity use.
Large air handling units push air through long, complex ductwork, causing high pressure losses.
VAV dampers limit savings strategies like night setback, so energy use stays higher than with dynamic VIX control.
Energy efficiency is built into every modular cleanroom through the patented VIX concept, the core of our approach.
DFA monitors particle levels and lowers air changes when conditions allow.
Without VAV valves, the VIX system reliably reaches L2 or L3 airtightness.
PFAS-free design is standard. R32 is the default refrigerant; R290 (propane) with a much lower GWP is available.
| Advantage | Mechanism | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum energy savings | Patented VIX concept | Up to 70% lower energy use, and lower life-cycle cost including OPEX |
| Stronger sustainability reporting | PFAS-free cooling solutions | Lower GWP of the cooling system |
| A more sustainable approach | Circular design principles | Better recyclability of materials |
Start small and enlarge the cleanroom as demand grows.

Reaching the required cleanliness with less fan power and fewer air changes. The main levers are airflow strategy, pressure stability, airtightness and precise adjustment to real conditions.
HVAC must continuously move, filter, condition and pressurise large air volumes, so it is usually the dominant electrical load.
High-efficiency components and control strategies avoid unnecessary airflow and pressure losses. Lower fan energy, night setback and stable pressure control deliver the largest savings.
It adjusts air supply and filtration to actual conditions instead of fixed worst-case settings, so the system does not over-ventilate.
A well-sealed envelope prevents uncontrolled air loss, so the HVAC system needs less fan power to maintain pressure.
Reduced airflow and conditioning during low-activity periods, while cleanliness and pressure stay within defined limits. Typically when production is paused or reduced.
A pre-construction simulation that predicts airflow and pressure performance, helping to set accurate air change rates and avoid overdesign.
It depends on the baseline design, cleanliness class, operating hours and HVAC setup. The biggest gains usually come from lower pressure losses, better airtightness and dynamic control.
CTO+ integrates speed, reliability, budget control and sustainability. One value can lead without compromising the others.
