In the USA the National Electrical Code prohibits the "point of attachment" of an overhead electric service to be within 36 inches of an openable window, doorway, or porch... in other Words they do not want a person to be able to reach out of a building opening and be able to touch exposed live power wires. I believe this rule applies to all buildings not just residential. The "point of attachment" is the area near the top of the building's electrical conduit where the building wires are spliced to the utility company wires. This is the only area where there should be exposed power wires. There is no distance limitation from Windows and doors for the remainder of the electrical service that has no exposed power wires, such as the conduits, meters, panels
