Venetian blinds - angled up or down?
Which way is it more efficient to angle the slats of venetian blinds to
keep a room cool:
* downwards, so that warm air behind them stays there instead of being
drawn into the room (but sunlight streams through into the room)
* upwards, so that they block direct sunlight (but warm air behind them
rises upwards into the room)?
My bet is on upwards.
