vindusbetingede

Vindusbetingede is a Danish adjective meaning "conditioned by windows" or "contingent on windows." It is used to describe conditions, outcomes, or design considerations that depend on the characteristics or presence of windows, such as size, placement, glazing, or shading.

In architecture and building physics, vindusbetingede forhold refer to daylight, solar heat gain, ventilation, and acoustic transmission that are influenced by windows. For example, a room with vindusbetingede dagslysforhold has favorable natural light due to its window configuration. The term is common in discussions of energy efficiency and passive design, where window orientation and glazing choices create vindusbetingede energy flows and thermal comfort.

Linguistically, the term functions as an attributive modifier (vindusbetingede forhold) or as a predicative description. It is typically used in Danish technical writing rather than in everyday speech.

Etymology: from vindue (window) + betinget (conditioned, contingent).
