Clean room design encompasses much more than traditional temperature and humidity control.
Clean air flow out to lower pressure areas laminar flow moves particles to the air returns efficiently and quickly suppress contaminates cleaning maintenance daily weekly monthly hvac and filter maintenance materials equipment approved materials and equipment design protocols.
Last but certainly not least the degree of precision you need will also influence the design of the hvac system.
Design must consider aspects such as control of particulate microbial electrostatic discharge gaseous contaminants airflow pattern control and pressurization and industrial engineering aspects.

There is much more into the design of cleanrooms in terms of details of technology of.
Unique design characteristics which clearly distinguish one type from another.
For example some regions in winter the hvac systems need to take the outside air at 22 f 30 c warm it up to 68 f 20 c remove the humidity and bring it into the room over and over.
