While providing fresh air intake and exhaust, reducing noise, and keeping out unwanted water and debris, louvers can also provide architectural style to a building design. This course discusses the aesthetics, performance, and weather resistance features of a variety of louver designs from the basic to the extreme. A discussion about the industry standards and test protocols for louver performance is included.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Categorize different louver types and discuss the selection criteria for specifying louvers for a variety of applications.
  • Determine the performance features, material, and finish for louvers for a building project to ensure the aesthetics and airflow and noise control requirements to maintain occupant comfort are provided.
  • Identify the Air Movement and Control Association standards for louver performance to determine how louvers prevent air leakage and water infiltration to preserve the interior environment.
  • Explain the importance of louver pressure and impact testing in verifying whether a louver can reinforce protective measures and enhance physical security under extreme weather events.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered online, at your own pace.
