    I’m not sure why this would be an advantage? Does the tilt cause more draft than opening it a different way?

      Try any different way during a rain and You’ll realize the difference.

        It’s never warm enough when it’s raining to warrant having the window open though. Maybe if you’re in Arizona or the south of Spain.

          Most Europeans dont have AC units, so windows being open is a necessity.

          This post misses the entire reason for the difference and instead makes it a divisive topic.

            I don’t have AC and I manage the temperature in my house just fine with windows alone. My point stands.

          You don’t only open the windows to cool down. You should regularly let in some fresh air.

      It is a security opening. People cannot climb through a tilted window

      There are, of course, tools to defeat those windows since they’re popular.
