... or maybe Light Tunnels?

These will transmit daylight, but not ventilate.

I am not really sure what you are after... more information? Are we on the right track?

Solatube makes a lighting/ventilation assembly for this purpose...go to www.solatube.com and noodle around for some apps that will work.

I dont know where you are located. But the pictures here so far should help.

These are a very common building practices in the U.S.

They work better if the windows are mostly water tight when closed.

Or, drainage must be provided in the bottom. (required by modern code)
