Abstract

In a ceiling (12) of a room (10) of a clean room device (15), fan filter units (14) are arranged at distances, and to an open grid space where no fan filter unit (14) is provided, a breathable body (40) is provided. When clean air is sent from an over-ceiling space (16) into the room (10) by the fan filter unit (14), an air pressure in the room (10) becomes higher than that in the over-ceiling space (16), and part of the air in the room (10) flows to the over-ceiling space (16) through the breathable body (40). Consequently, it is possible to prevent an occurrence of a swirling current in an area under an open grid space in the room (10), and cleanliness in the room (10) can be raised.
