Awning & casement solid pane windows also have 100% ventilation face... SLIDING windows have 50%
Jalousies do not have a good enough air seal to keep out smoke or VOG, so we have a stacked awning windows (Coastal Windows makes the stacked ones we have) that have many of the benefits of full ventilation face, rain coverage, high low ventilation adjustments and better security/ less air penetration than jalousies...
I wish we had known about the stacked awning windows to begin with, as we prefer them (& the Coastal Brand) over most of the options we have seen here...
But any window is an increased cost over most other wall treatments (although we got our Coastals as replacements for a window that was mis-measured, & they were on the discount rack at a local store... so they were not much more than other wall treatments that way...)
