气窗 qìchuāng @ 《现代汉语词典》
〈名〉主要用来通风透气的窗子,一般开在房屋的顶部。

氣窗 qì chuāng @ 《重編國語辭典修訂本》
屋內使空氣流通用的小窗子。
---------------

Editor: Better to define it by *function* (as in the Chinese definitions) rather than simply giving the English names of two particular kinds of 气窗. Transom window and fanlight are useful architectural terms, but they
1) refer to only some kinds of 气窗 (see quote below), and
2) are less immediately understandable to many users than a gloss such as "ventilation window".

Ex. 小時候住在發酵室旁,看著父親與師傅半夜起來照顧菌種的鍾政衛說,發酵期必須歷時7天、24小時監督,夏天太熱要把氣窗打開,冬天得蓋上麻布,或者打開烤爐,讓溫度保持在攝氏40度上下。
