German term or phrase: Kastendoppelfenster
Not much useful context. The text refers to a Kastendoppelfenster, which is located mainly on the east side, being a bit draughty. I guess that it is a term which people will either know or not.

agree  Textklick: @Philee I think the double is referring to the number of panes. One of those funny old windows with independent frames and single glazing?
