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.)

double hung windows

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

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.

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