Wall Louvers
A roof vent is an essential part of industrial ventilation systems, providing an avenue for hot air to escape. They improve air quality on residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. As temperatures increase, proper ventilation in industrial settings is vital for the well-being of workers, the longevity of the equipment, and overall productivity within the workplace.
The wall louver is the most overlooked element of industrial ventilation. Virtually every industrial facility uilizes wall louvers. However most people barely even think about their louvers, let alone details like material, quantity, or blade type. As the experts in natural ventilation, we realize that intake air, and in turn wall louvers, are a vital
Thirty years ago, the country experienced one of the worst heat-related weather events in recorded history. The 1995 Chicago heatwave brought extreme heat and high humidity into a densely populated urban area. It resulted in deadly consequences. In the span of just a few days, temperatures soared to over 20 degrees above average and humidity
Most often people think the solution to solving a building’s heat problem is to add more roof exhaust fans. The logic being that to draw more heat out of the building, the building needs more fans. To really solve a ventilation problem though, it is a bit more complex. When it is hot inside the
Natural ventilation definition: the process of pulling fresh air into a building from the outside. In turn, this fresh air helps force the warm, dirty air inside of the building out through the opening in the roof. This becomes done, without mechanical assistance. While that is the definition, concisely, it’s actual application and use is
Power Exhaust Ventilation vs. Natural Ventilation is the big question when it comes to ventilating an industrial space. On the one hand you have a powered solution that moves hot air with great force. Nothing says ventilation like a bunch of fans whirring on non-stop on the roof. On the other hand, you have a
As record-setting heat waves push temperatures higher each year, workers in industrial facilities are facing a growing threat of heat-related illness and even death. According to OSHA, hundreds of workers die annually from heat stress, and thousands more suffer from heat-related illnesses. Many of them are preventable with better industrial ventilation and air quality systems.
