Wall Louvers
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.
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

What is a louver? A louver is a slatted, wall-mounted opening that lets air enter into a building. They facilitate positive ventilation by allowing fresh air to enter, which in turn pushes the warm air out. This increases total air flow throughout the entire building. The slats, or blades, keep unwanted elements from entering the
