maximum window area on the southern side of the building to facilitate direct heat gain. They should be sealed and preferably double glazed. Double glazing helps to avoid heat losses during winter nights. However, care should be taken to prevent condensation in the air space between the panes. Movable shades should be provided to prevent overheating in summers.”
