I put 4 furnace filter vents (about 8"x 6" each) on the roof of my hexayurt last year. Putting them up high allowed plenty of air to move in the hexayurt, and let in a lot of light. No lights were needed in daytime. The filters keep dust out and provide light, just what i needed.
I think windows will really compromise the thermal barrier of the hexayurt and provide almost a sure entrance for dust. They may be cool to look out of but when the sun is coming in it will get hot. Maybe curtains for windows?
