To let a breeze into your room, do your windows open out from the bottom or the top?

If your windows are stacked (upper and lower) which part opens and which part stays fixed?

(Germans with 3D windows don’t count. Lüften is a weird cultish ritual and you should all feel bad.)

    In the US - I just installed an awning window like that. My other current windows slide up from the bottom. When I replace them I will get double hung windows that slide both down from the top and up from the bottom.

      double hung windows

      oh that’s cool, never heard of that. The panes just kind of overlap in the middle if they want to

        Double-hung windows are probably the most common type in US single-family houses.

        My architect friend has them and loves them! He can open bottoms on one side of the house and uppers on the other side with a fan to let cool air in and warm air out.
