Analysis of Thermal Comfort Experienced in Research Laboratories

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Research laboratories are often designed as cleanrooms to satisfy the requirements for low levels of airborne and microbial contamination. Indoor environmental conditions of each lab vary not only in the class of cleanliness but also in other parameters such as indoor temperature or relative humidity, therefore, the design and operation of each laboratory are unique. Generally, the thermal conditions are maintained at levels required by technologies installed and ongoing processes. Frequently, a suitable thermal environment for researchers is not achieved. The study investigated the thermal environment of research laboratories. A comparison of conditions experienced in laboratories with different classes of cleanliness and air distribution system was presented. The evaluation of differences enabled to determine a possible link between the class of cleanliness and the thermal comfort of researchers. Besides the major factors of discomfort such as high air velocities or inconvenient temperatures, the selection of cleanroom garments was assessed as the fundamental source of dissatisfaction. Higher classes of cleanliness require different sets of cleanroom clothing with various impacts on user’s thermal satisfaction, however, this factor is very often not taken into account when designing and operating a cleanroom.
