Windows and Doors*
All windows in the Ramona have a low-e coang and a ght seal to mi-
gate urban sounds and keep cold air out. (An e-coang is applied to the
surface of window glazing to reduce heat transfer.)
Casement windows are eecve at helping to bring breezes into your apartment.•
Portland’s prevailing summer breezes come from the northwest. When possible, win- •
dows were oriented so that they face north or west when open to capture those
breezes.
To maximize the energy saving benets
of the ght seal and dual panes, keep
the window handle in the fully locked
posion when not in use.
Pao Doors
Keep the handle in the locked posion
(see top right photo) to maintain the
ght seal. The door is unlocked when
the handle is in the horizontal posion
(see boom right photo).
Interior Bedroom Windows
Interior bedrooms at the Ramona do
not have outside windows. These rooms
have a connuous supply of fresh air
ducted directly into them to provide good air quality. The door has
a window to allow light in and a mini blind for privacy and/or dark-
ness.
The mini blind is controlled by a slide control on the right side of the
window. Slide the lever up to open the blinds or down to close. The
slide along the top lts the angle of the blinds for a variety of light
levels.
* First oor residents, see p. 18 for special instrucons about the windows in your apartment.

Adding Air Condioning in Your Apartment
Convenonal window-mounted air condioners can’t be installed in case-
ment windows. If you would like to add AC to your apartment, you’ll need a
portable air condioner. These sit on the oor and have an exhaust hose to
blow the heated air outside. We will provide a plexi-glass insert to replace
your window screen, which have an aachment for the exhaust hose.
