Default Crawl space vents - open / closed ?

This may surprise some: open in winter, closed in summer. Rationale: in
winter, warm air and it's humidity will move from the crawl space out. In
summer, closed vents will prevent warm air and it's humidity from moving into
the cooler space.

prevent mold and rot.
