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

assemblies addressing basis of design parameters of

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

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

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

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
