It is essential to verify the contribution of the sill's height for the proper use of the benefits of the window in hospital admission spaces. This research investigates the influence of the sill in the luminous performance and promotion of the outward view in hospital wards in Maceio, Alagoas. The empirical object comprises six female wards with the same window design, but with different vertical position and orientation. The research method deals with a comparative analysis between two vertical positions of the window: high and low, through computer simulation using TropLux software. The results show that the analyzed wards have discomfort due to the excess of natural light, especially direct light from the sky and the sun, causing glare. The lack of sunscreens in the openings results in a large amount of light inside the hospital environment, which is less expressive in the wards that have windows facing the building's internal void. A configuração das janelas pode influenciar na luminosidade do ambiente e na comunicação visual de pacientes com o meio exterior. Para o bom aproveitamento dos benefícios da janela em ambientes hospitalares é importante verificar a contribuição da altura do peitoril. Esta pesquisa investiga a influência do peitoril no desempenho luminoso e na visão de céu em enfermarias hospitalares na cidade de Maceió, Alagoas. O objeto empírico compreende seis enfermarias femininas com mesmo desenho de janelas, mas com posição vertical e orientação distintas. Foi feita uma análise comparativa entre duas posições verticais da janela: alta e baixa, por meio de simulação computacional usando o software TropLux. Os resultados mostram que nos espaços analisados há ocorrência de desconforto devido ao excesso de luz natural, especialmente de luz direta do céu e do sol, causando ofuscamento. A falta de protetores solares nas aberturas faz com que haja grande quantidade de luz dentro do ambiente hospitalar, que é menos expressiva nas enfermarias que têm janelas voltadas para o vazio interno da edificação.
