Question

Which of the following is not a function of a window?

(a) To admit light into the building

(b) To admit air to the building

(c) To admit water to the building

(d) To provide thermal insulation

I got this question in final exam.

Question is from Location of Doors and Windows topic in division Doors, Windows and Ventilators of Construction & Building Materials

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

(c) To admit water to the building

A window's function is to admit light, air, and provide insulation, but it is not meant to admit water into the building. Water ingress can damage the interior of the building and compromise its structure.
