| window:breast | length value | the breast of a window (i.e. the space between the ground of the floor and the bottom of the window). An alternative would be to use min_height=* as already in use for buildings. |

| window:shutter | no/left/right/both | whether there are one-sided or two-sided shutters. If no shutter-related tag is present, then it is assumed that the windows don't have shutters. (The directions are seen from the inside of the building.) |

Retractable skylight | ||
|
A large (20' x 20') steel and glass retractable skylight, seen from the roof. Note the steel tracks that the skylight rolls on, to retract. | |
|
The same retractable skylight, seen from the interior. This is a bi-parting skylight, meaning that it parts in the middle to open. | |
|
This ridge skylight wraps over the highest point of the roof - the ridgeline. | |
|
This is that same skylight, from the inside. Steel allows large spans, without a grid of supporting tubes and cables. | |

Active daylighting uses a tubular daylight device—TDD | |
