    This document outlines lighting and ventilation requirements for buildings according to various sections. It specifies minimum dimensions for inner courts and ceilings, as well as minimum room sizes for habitable spaces, kitchens, and bathrooms. Air space requirements are provided based on building type, requiring more cubic meters of air space per person for habitable rooms than for schools or workplaces. Window openings must be at least 10% of the floor area for rooms without artificial ventilation. Ventilation shafts and ducts also have minimum size requirements. Artificial ventilation systems must provide a minimum number of air changes per hour depending on the building purpose, such as more for bakeries than offices.
