About this webinar

In this webinar, Steve Cobelli and Darren Stanly discuss the difference between conventional and performance louvres, highlighting the latter's enhanced features for airflow, rain defense, and reduced pressure drop. They outline standards for performance louvres, strategies for reducing plant room size, and the significance of free area in preventing airflow restrictions. Additionally, they'll cover the importance of correctly specifying louvres, considering factors like airflow requirements, weather conditions, and architectural aesthetics. Detailed specifications provided to manufacturers ensure louvres meet application needs effectively. This abstract serves as a concise guide for architects, engineers, and facility managers aiming to optimize ventilation system performance and efficiency.
