Which window type is characterized by being constructed of multiple glass sections that are adjustable?

Jalousie windows are characterized by their unique design, consisting of multiple glass slats that are hinged at the top and can be adjusted to open or close. This allows for ventilation while still providing protection from the elements. The slats can be tilted to control airflow and light entry, making them especially functional in warm climates.

In contrast, other types of windows serve different purposes: casement windows are hinged at the side and open outward, providing full access to the opening but not adjustable in the same way as jalousies; fixed windows are immobile and do not open at all, which eliminates any adjustability; and double hung windows allow for the sashes to slide up and down but don’t have the multiple adjustable slats that define jalousie windows.
