| Capable of resisting draughts and heat loss |

| Sufficiently secure to prevent entry by intruders – windows cannot be opened from the outside and doors secured with a lock which must be openable from the inside without a key (ie thumb turn lock) to enable escape in the event of fire |
|
| If windows on first floor and above have sills less than 1.1m from floor level, limiters must restrict the window being opened more than 100mm and be capable of being over-ridden by an adult if no children are present or in the event of a fire |
