Hello
Since we are building a house next year, we are currently in the planning phase. I was told that the windows must have a certain size relative to the room size.
Does anyone know how this is regulated? The house construction will take place in Upper Austria.
Best regards

You also have to consider the shape.
Often, you see narrower, floor-to-ceiling windows. With the same glass area, these let in less light compared to square or landscape-oriented windows. Is that really the case? I was actually told the opposite. I'm not sure what’s correct now.

People also perceive more in width rather than height.
The sun moves as well. With a landscape orientation, you simply get longer (more) daylight exposure throughout the day.
