Window vents

I have just had new windows installed at my house.  They do not have vents at the top, but we have a coal burner stove in the living room.  should the windows have vents, to comply with the regs?

Here are some fire saftey tips I found about stoves, hope it could help:

  • Coal-burning stoves must always be connected to a chimney. Do not lead the waste gases outside directly.
  • There must be sufficient distance between waste gas and stove pipes and inflammable objects like wallpapers, door frames and wood lagging.
  • Leaky waste gas pipes must be replaced by an expert immediately.
  • Never place stoves directly on a wooden floor but on a non-inflammable base.
  • Never hang up your clothes beside or above the stove for drying. Never store inflammable objects directly beside the stove or fireplace.
  • Never put hot ash into the rubbish bin but in a closeable non-inflammable container.
  • You dream of a fireplace? Consult your chimney-sweep before installation. He is also responsible for official acceptance of the fireplace.
  • Never leave your open fireplace unattended. Use a standing grate to prevent red hot coal from falling out of the fireplace.
  • The cleaning openings of the fireplace must always be accessible.
  • Gas therms in bathrooms or kitchens take their combustion air from the room. Never make ventilating ducts in doors airtight to prevent an oxygen lack in the combustion chamber.
  • If your oil stove is not connected to a cellar tank, you are only allowed to store a can with max. 40 liters heating oil in your apartment.

LYRICS I bust the windows out ya car And no it didn't mend my broken heart I'll probably always have these ugly scars But right now I don't care about that part I bust the windows out ya car After I saw you laying next to her I didn't wanna but I took my turn I'm glad I did it cause you had to learn I must admit it helped a little bit To think of how you'd feel, when you saw it I didn't know that I had that much strength But I'm glad you see what happens when You see you just can't play with people's feelings Tell them you love them and don't mean it You'll probably say that it was juvenille But I think that I deserve to smile ha ha ha ha ha I bust the windows out ya car You know I did it cause I left my mark Wrote my initials with the crowbar And then I drove off into the dark I bust the windows out ya car You should feel lucky that that's all I did After five whole years of this bullshit Gave you all of me and you played with it Oooh ahh... I must admit it helped a little bit To think of how you'd feel when you saw it I didn't know that I had that much strength But I'm glad you see what happens when... You see you can't just play with people's feelings Tell them you love them and don't mean it You'll probably say that it was juvenille But I think that I deserve to smile but it dont comfort.... But it don't comfort to my broken heart You could never feel how I felt that day Until it happens baby you don't know pain Oooh Yeah I did it (Yeah I did it) You should know it (You should know it) I ain't sorry (I ain't sorry) You deserved it (You deserved it) After what you did to me (After what you did) You deserved it (You deserved it) I ain't sorry (I ain't sorry) no no oh... (I ain't sorry) You broke my heart So I broke ya car You caused me pain (You caused me pain) So I did the same Even though all that you did to me was much worse I had to do something to make you hurt yeah Oh but why am I still cryin'? Why am I the one whose still cryin'? Oh oh you really hurt me baby You really you really hurt me baby Hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey hey hey hey hey now watch me yua now watch me ha ha ha I bust the windows out ya car
