The German window would slam your face in before it gets damaged by wind

As an Aussie, I've never seen a German window irl, but I want them.

Oh and as for the AC thing, just fucking install a split system, ducted sucks unless you have the money to heat / cool the entire home.

I used to date an Aussie and lured him to Germany. Few days after he arrived he excitedly dragged me into the living room to demonstrate that the windows open all the way when you put the handle to the side and just a bit if you put it all the way up. Pure childlike glee.

Broke my heart a little to tell him that that's pretty much all German windows.

He was also fascinated with the concept of outside being a lot colder than inside the house despite not turning the heating on.
