Pharmaceutical cleanrooms account for fifty to eighty per cent of a sterile plant's total energy and run continuously at setpoints regulators inspect without warning; changing the grid mix does not move the meter. Model predictive control of chilled-water loops is where a ten-to-twenty per cent reduction is now measurable.
