Today’s louvers not only are functional but also offer enhanced architectural design to the façade of many buildings. More than just a hole in a wall, louvers are responsible for reducing or eliminating water infiltration and offer protection from heavy storms and hurricanes. Different types of louvers and their applications are discussed in this course as well as specific terminology, AMCA/BSRIA testing procedures, and the Certified Ratings Program.

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

  • Describe louver types that facilitate airflow, provide a water-resistant barrier, act as a vision screen, or act as an acoustical barrier.
  • Select an appropriate louver by considering the requirements of air volume, rain defense, structural integrity, noise, and aesthetics.
  • Explain louver performance terminology: free area, pressure drop, water penetration, and wind-driven rain.
  • Relate AMCA/BSRIA testing procedures and the Certified Ratings Program to the selection of a louver.

Approximately 1 hour, 15 minutes. Delivered online, at your own pace.
