English term or phrase: at grade window
"Do at grade windows: Have removable panels? Have operable window openings with the smallest opening dimension (i.e. the smaller of height or width) being greater than 15cm?"

I think it might be "fenêtres au niveau du sol"

Thanks for the help!

fenêtres selon les normes


Explanation:
fenêtres au niveau du sol
would be something like
ground-level windows

Since the text mentions measurements and features, I think they mean more along the lines of conformity.

Fabriquer les fenêtres selon les normes:
would be my translation, at least with the context provided.
