Aluminium windows
Nowadays almost all the houses of Dhaka city have Thai Aluminium windows which can be opened and closed easily. However, only fifty percent of the windows can be opened. In this way we are depriving ourselves of air. I think in a city where population density is so high and where load shedding is so frequent, use of such kind of window is not a good idea. Moreover, the distance between the houses is very little, thus this window makes things worse.
As a microbiologist, I am always for running air and not stagnant air, because running air reduces the chances of infectious diseases. We must not forget infectious diseases, especially lung infection which is one of the leading causes of death in Bangladesh.
