What is the ideal window size for a north-west-facing bedroom in Pune?

Vastu and temperate climate together suggest a window approximately 4 feet wide with a sill height of 2.5 feet on a north-west face for a bedroom in Pune. Type: Sliding 2T. Glazing: clear.

Is North-West an auspicious direction for a bedroom per Vastu?

Yes — North-West is the ideal Vastu direction for a bedroom. Vayu (Vayu (Air)) governs this direction, and the room aligns naturally with that energy.

Why does Pune's temperate climate need clear glazing?

Pune sits in the Temperate climate zone (Mild year-round. The most forgiving zone — and the most often over-engineered.). For temperate climates, clear glazing balances solar gain, heat retention, and visibility — A Bangalore wall does not need to be a Jaipur wall. Most builders copy the same envelope anyway and the home pays the bill.

Why this direction for a bedroom?

Like the master, secondary bedrooms need cross-ventilation, controlled light, and visual privacy. For children's rooms, a south-facing study desk under the window works well; for guests, a small mid-sill window is sufficient.

Why Pune's climate matters

Pune is in the Temperate climate zone (Cwb, Cfb per the Köppen scale; Temperate per NBC 2016). Summer temperatures: 25-35°C, winters: 12-22°C. Rainfall: 500-1500 mm/year. Humidity: 40-75%.

A Bangalore wall does not need to be a Jaipur wall. Most builders copy the same envelope anyway and the home pays the bill.

For a north-west face in this climate, the recommendation is a sliding 2t window with clear glazing and a sill at 2.5' — calibrated for mild year-round temperatures with comfortable airflow.
