We are building according to kfw55 standards and with a ventilation system. But the tip about single-leaf windows is really good, if the windows can still handle it. In the first step, we would rather do without the double-leaf window because of the disadvantages.

But with double-winged windows, I lose even more window area because the sashes take up frame space, right? That is actually the reason why the window was proposed like that.

Who are you replying to? From 1 meter width, you switch to double-leaf. Let's ask it the other way around: how does the south facade look otherwise?

A double casement window can be shaded really well nowadays, optionally also automated. A double casement window of usual size including motorized external shading costs about 3K for new construction, afterwards rather 4.5 - 5K. If the reveals can be angled, incredibly beautiful light comes in. Only if money is tight, possibly leave it out, otherwise definitely include it.

And what is really loud anyway? Rain pattering on the glass can also be soothing (like for example the sound of waves), you just have to associate the noise with something positive (I do this with the baby crying from the apartment below me, now I always get in a good mood when the baby cries :D )

Thank you all for the controversial discussion! And what about the aspect that the window takes away solar surface area? I can't quite assess that yet, as we don't have any offers yet and don't know how the area will be used. However, we would like to be able to produce a full 10kw.
