I'm one of those people that likes a dark bedroom, so we elected to have a highlight-style window in both the theatre and the main bedroom of our new build, as well as the library upstairs in the loft.

This is from a newish display home and pretty much exactly what I wanted in the master bedroom and the theatre.
Our draftsperson has come back and advised that we have to have minimum 1027mm high windows.
I find this
a) annoying given I've seen plenty of highlight windows in new display homes (so if it's a reg change, when did it change?), and
b) if it's based on the amount of light vs space because of energy efficiency regs, why isn't it an issue for the highlight window in the Library (which is a smaller room than both the theatre and the bedroom!)
I'm going to push back on the builder/draftsperson but wondered if there was a building/energy efficiency code that I could check that what I'm being told is correct.
Either draftsperson is wrong, or a LOT of display homes around the place are in breach of whatever code is being quoted.
Interested to know if any other home builders have come across a similar problem?
