How Louvers Work:

Airflow Regulation:

• Louvers are designed with angled slats or blades that allow air to pass through while blocking the direct entry of rain or sunlight.

• The slats are typically positioned to encourage the flow of air in a specific direction, either to exhaust hot air from the building or to allow fresh air intake.

Ventilation Control:

• Louvers are strategically placed in the walls or roof of a PEB to facilitate proper ventilation.

• When used for exhaust purposes, louvers expel hot air and pollutants from the building's interior, helping maintain a comfortable and healthy indoor environment.

Rain Protection:

• The angled design of the louvers prevents rainwater from directly entering the building. This is essential for protecting the interior from water damage and maintaining a dry environment.

Light and Privacy Control:

• Louvers can be designed to allow diffused natural light into the building while providing privacy. This is especially important in spaces where a balance between daylighting and privacy is required.

Prevention of Debris Entry:

• Louvers act as barriers to prevent the entry of leaves, dust, and other debris. This is important for maintaining the cleanliness of the interior space and preserving air quality.
