Description
For building owners in Persian Gulf countries, sand storms have long been a fact of life and a threat to HVAC equipment. For this reason, there is growing global attention on the quantity of sand that moves through the louvers installed on building facades and casements of equipment penthouses and enclosures. But a great help has been introduced in this struggle against sand penetration, and that is the introduction of louvers specifically designed, tested and certified to reject sand. This presentation will cover the subject and assist engineers, architects, and specifiers in learning more about this important topic. This webinar was originally broadcast on February 24, 2021.
