Louvers are functional elements that permit airflow and protect against water intrusion. Selecting the right louver for a project requires balancing multiple factors. This course provides an overview of the various types of louvers and their performance characteristics, the AMCA’s role in ensuring reliable, high-performing products, and relevant standards and testing protocols. Finish options, as well as installation, design, and structural considerations, are addressed. Guidance is provided on selecting and specifying appropriate louvers to meet project needs.

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

  • Describe the various types of louvers, their performance related to airflow and protection from water intrusion, and their suitable applications.
  • Explain the importance of the Air Movement and Control Association’s (AMCA’s) role in standards development and the testing and certification of louvers.
  • Describe the ANSI/AMCA Standard 500-L testing protocols for louvers that address pressure drop, water penetration, and wind-driven rain.
  • Select AMCA-certified louvers that meet the specific performance requirements of the project, such as enhanced protection against windborne debris in tornado or hurricane conditions, and specify them using appropriate reference standards and performance data.

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