Dear BNC Users,

 

Below is a request for information on the negative impact to research if the ambient temperatures in the cleanroom or lab spaces range 74°F to 77°F, 77°F to 80°F, and 80°F to 83°F.

 

Below are the current Birck Nanotechnology Center temperature ranges by area.

 

  • Cleanroom Temperature Range = 67°F - 71°F
  • General Labs Temperature Range = 69°F - 71°F
  • Office/Public/Conference Room Space Temperature Range = 65°F - 80°F

 

Below please provide the maximum temperature allowed for your research, the area number for your research, and a brief comment for each of the higher temperatures ranges.  I will return to the office on 6/16/22 to compile all the email reply’s and send it to EVPRP office by 6/17/22. 

 

  • Negative impact on research for ambient temperatures 74°F -77°F.  Max Temp.______?  Cleanroom/Lab Number____________?

Team,

 

Purdue Energy and Utilities (E&U) are in the process of completing their master plan and are looking for input from campus users as they assess risk. Specifically, E&U would like to know the criticality of ambient temperatures inside our buildings. For this exercise, what negative impacts would occur with temperatures in the range of 74-77 F, 77-80 F, and 80-83 F?  The more specific the better. If you could provide any feedback to me by next Friday (6/17), it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Best Regards,,
