Design Challenges in Louver Selection - Data Centers
I have provided this PDF as a helpful tool in regards to
Preliminary Wall Louver Selection specifically addressing the
unique challenges associated with Mission Critical - Data Center
Design
Throughout this document are embedded links that will quickly
take you to additional information to assist you in narrowing your
selection
While this Selection Tool may help narrow your product selection
please reach out to me for project specific specification detail
and preliminary structural analysis assistance to insure your
design intent is well defined

Data Center Design is evolving rapidly as these highly
specialized facilities exert ever increasing demands on power
and cooling needs
Building Envelope requirements often also exceed typical

These highly specialized facilities exert ever increasing
demands on power and internal cooling needs
Design Trends in Data Center see what was once demand needs
of 25 Watts PSF soaring to 500 Watts PSF and rising
In response to this increased internal heat potential more air supply
for cooling is required and that supplied air should be controlled for
water intrusion that can be harmful to the sensitive equipment that
resides in these structures

Design Challenges in Louver Selection
Before you can begin to make the appropriate Louver Selection
for a Data Center Project lets familiarize our selves with the 3
basic categories of Architectural Wall Louvers and subsequent
test methods in place by AMCA (Air Movement and Control
Association) for rating and certifying Louver Performance

Since both AMCA Test Standards fall
under AMCA 500 L 99 it is important to
define your Specification Performance as

These highly specialized facilities exert ever increasing
demands on power and internal cooling needs
Design Trends in Data Center see what was once demand needs
of 25 Watts PSF soaring to 500 Watts PSF and rising
In response to this increased internal heat potential more air supply
for cooling is required and that supplied air should be controlled for
water intrusion that can be harmful to the sensitive equipment that
resides in these structures

Design Challenges in Louver Selection
Before you can begin to make the appropriate Louver Selection
for a Data Center Project lets familiarize our selves with the 3
basic categories of Architectural Wall Louvers and subsequent
test methods in place by AMCA (Air Movement and Control
Association) for rating and certifying Louver Performance

A Non- Drainable Blade Conventional Louver
typically consists of a simple sloped flat blade
bull Not Sight Proof
bull Good Free Area
bull Low Pressure Drop
bull Fair Air Volumes
bull AMCA Tested to 500 L 99 - Water Penetration - Still

Non- Drainable Blade Louvers represent the lowest
technologically advanced solution and provide very
little protection from Wind Driven Rain

bull Wind Driven Rain Rated Louvers A Drainable Blade Conventional Louver typically
consists of a simple sloped flat blade with gutter
integral to the Louver Blade which directs water to
channels in the jambs that downspouts the water
down and out at the sill
bull Not Sight Proof
bull Good Free Area
bull Low Pressure Drop
bull AMCA Tested to 500 L 99 - Water Penetration - Still

Drainable Blade Louvers represent the middle of the
road solution and provide a marginal improvement
against Wind Driven Rain

Since both AMCA Test Standards fall
under AMCA 500 L 99 it is important to
define your Specification Performance as
ldquoAMCA 500 L 99rdquo
ldquoWind Driven Rain Water Penetrationrdquo

These highly specialized facilities exert ever increasing
demands on power and internal cooling needs
Design Trends in Data Center see what was once demand needs
of 25 Watts PSF soaring to 500 Watts PSF and rising
In response to this increased internal heat potential more air supply
for cooling is required and that supplied air should be controlled for
water intrusion that can be harmful to the sensitive equipment that
resides in these structures
Due Diligence and Thoughtful Selection for all Design Parameters
+ =
Increased Air Supply to Mitigate Internal Heat

Design Challenges in Louver Selection
Before you can begin to make the appropriate Louver Selection
for a Data Center Project lets familiarize our selves with the 3
basic categories of Architectural Wall Louvers and subsequent
test methods in place by AMCA (Air Movement and Control
Association) for rating and certifying Louver Performance

Since both AMCA Test Standards fall
under AMCA 500 L 99 it is important to
define your Specification Performance as
ldquoAMCA 500 L 99rdquo
ldquoWind Driven Rain Water Penetrationrdquo

Since both AMCA Test Standards fall
under AMCA 500 L 99 it is important to
define your Specification Performance as
ldquoAMCA 500 L 99rdquo
ldquoWind Driven Rain Water Penetrationrdquo

Louver Design- Data Center Threats
Design Challenges in Louver Selection - Data Center Threats
My Risk Assessment leads me to the conclusion that my
Louver Selection should meet additional Blast Loading
requirements
Louver compliance with established blast
design criteria or performance specifications
should be evaluated on a project specific
basis
Contact Construction Specialties early in
your Louver Selection for assistance in
determining the appropriate Louver Design
and Coordination Issues
