Digital Tools for Louvre Selection and Documentation
New Louvre Performance Calculator and Schedule Builder
Early design and documentation stages are where louvre performance decisions are made, and where errors are commonly introduced. Performance data is often recalculated or re-entered across multiple tools, increasing the risk of inconsistencies between selections, schedules, and drawings.
The Louvre performance calculator and schedule builder are designed to be used together to reduce this risk by carrying performance-based selections through to project schedules, helping maintain alignment from early design through to documentation.
Supporting Different Project Roles
For consultants and engineers, this supports early checking of pressure drop, airflow, and opening size against project requirements. For architects, it helps ensure selected louvres align with architectural intent. For specifiers, contractors, and project teams, it reduces discrepancies caused by manual data transfer and duplicated schedules.
Tutorial Overview
In the video tutorial, Uddhava demonstrates how the performance calculator and schedule builder are used together, from performance-based selection through to building and exporting a project schedule.
Reducing Documentation Risk
This creates a single source of truth for louvre data, with performance values, sizes, and references documented consistently and reducing the risk of mismatched information across drawings and schedules. This is particularly useful on projects with multiple louvre types or repeated louvres across elevations and stages. Schedules can be exported as Excel or PDF and used alongside existing specifications, drawings, and BIM workflows. Access is account-based and all project data remains confidential within the user’s account.
