To determine the minimum free area required for louver: Divide the required CFM (volume of air) by the free area velocity before water penetration, then select the most desirable louver size from the free area chart above.
Likewise, how do you determine shutter size? Measure for the shutter height at the left side, middle, and right side of the window opening from the top of the window to the bottom excluding any window sill. If the heights vary at each of these points, use the SMALLEST of the three measurements. This measurement will be the height of the shutter you need to order.

How do you measure fresh air louver size?
>> To calculate the air flow rate :- CFM = 0.82 X A (in”) X B(in”) X Face velocity (fpm)
- 144.
- L/S = 0.82 X A (mm) X B (mm) X Face velocity (m/s)
- 1000.
What is free area?
