Sloppy posted:Casements and awnings rule you weirdos. We've put them in 100's of projects without issues. A hung or slider will never be as energy efficient, and being able to crank them open just a little bit without using a security stick is the best. If only the major manufacturers in the USA would offer in-swing casements.... The one thing the whole world can agree on is that horizontal sliders are the devil's window.

Ashcans posted:Didn't we have an actual post in this thread about a guy in PA who heated his house with a coal furnace in winter and used open windows to regulate the resulting blazing heat? When I was in high school, several of my friends houses were wood heat only. Big woodstoves with forced air that used ducting. Like central air, minus the A/C. You can't really turn them off other then to damp the fire down. You don't want it to go out. As such, you can turn down the heat but it's slow to cool down. Easiest is to crack a window to cool off a bit.

Arsenic Lupin posted:"Fresh air" was an obsession. People thought the tightly-sealed Victorian houses with gas lamps were bad for your lungs, and it was vital to breathe outdoors air. You walked your baby in a baby carriage so it could get fresh air. You hung your baby out a window so it could get fresh air. (In cities full of coal smoke, but welp.) I got to reading on CO2 levels in homes the other day and the Victorians probably weren't entirely wrong. I'm going to pick up an air quality meter that measures CO2 levels just so I have an idea of how good or bad the air in my house is. It is 80yo and I'm sure plenty leaky, but now I'm just curious. https://www.co2meter.com/blogs/news/co2-levels-at-home

Sash has 2 rollers typically, maybe a couple face guides and...that's that. I'd rather work on those than single-hung windows with massive sashes that take block-and-tackle balances with a fifty-pound pull weight just to reinstall the damned thing.

A hotel I stayed at in Spain had my favorite windows ever. Big panel, maybe 4x4. Two way operation, either tilt it or swing it. Now I can't recall if it tilted in or out or if it swung inside or out but it was very well made and brought in a nice ocean breeze.

IIRC there were also a lot of mandates following the Spanish Flu pandemic based around windows, which is why so many older apartment buildings get blazing hot in winter (to force people to open their windows). Proper ventilation actually is healthy, as it turns out. The theatre company I worked for at my old job used an interesting heating system based around hot air rising through the auditorium, which works really well but in retrospect just means that everyone in the upper balconies (i.e., the poor people) are stewing in a constantly flowing river of miasma and farts from the rich people in the orchestra level.

not to add to this derail. but it's really nice outside, temps around low to mid 50°f at night and around 70-75°f during the day. all windows and doors open because it's nice to have fresh air blowing into the house and making it feel nice. My parents have "country air conditioning" they live in a where generally it will get cool at night, and they have a High R value house (Exterior walls are all plywood sandwiched foam). Windows get opened at night, then closed in the morning, and the house keeps the cool air in most of the day unless the drat kids open and close the doors 100 times. In summary windows as ventilation are nice.

Darchangel posted:Speaking as a Texan, there are approximately two months out of the year that opening windows is any way shape or form palatable, and I'm in North Texas. Further south is miserable in summer, or, as we call it, "not the two months of year that pass for winter" (mind you, winter 2020/21, aka, The Snowpacolypse, made up for several mild not-really-winters.) And I have a 1960s house that is basically designed as a rat maze, so even with the windows open, "flow-through" is not a thing. Air conditioning is a life-saving device in the South, not a convenience. I am seriously considering a mini-split in the garage just to keep it something approaching "not melting" when I work out there. My buddy lived in San Antonio for a year or two. Two outdoor A/C units running all day. Even in the winter. 100 days of 100 degrees. It got down to 40 degrees at Christmas and all the locals considered it a disaster. It almost snowed. It was still in the 70's by noon. His windows were never opened. I don't even know if they worked. I drove from San Antonio to the Twin Cities. I left San Antonio at about 40 degrees (Antarctic cold for them) It was -10 degrees at noon by the time I hit Minnesota. The worst part of the drive are the hills in Oklahoma. They put mud down on top of ice. No salt. It's literally just dirt. I'd rather drive on the ice instead of that slime. I live in MN so it's nice to open the Windows at night in the summer. Saves on A/C. Also, St. Augustine is terrible grass. It's like walking on knives. I'll take Red Fescue and Kentucky Bluegrass any day.

Window chat is boring. Please stop. It's getting a bit too slap fighty for my taste. Or make a home efficiency thread.
