The presented article deals with problems of internal environmental characteristics in premises of agricultural facilities in regions with hot and sunny climate. Environmental conditions are being considered in close linkage with forms, proportions and sizes of windows traditionally used in regions in question and with geometrics of new types of windows. It was stated that windows in the said climate have a great effect on the different microclimatic environmental regimes in the premises in question, i.e. on the internal lighting of interiors, thermal gains due to solar radiation, noise penetration, etc. Also, the paper considers another variable – the informative quality of a window. This one not only dictates the geometrics of window openings, but also needs a vast experimental research to be conducted on subjective appraisal of quantity and quality of outdoor information through considered windows.
