    The window stays sealed on all other sides. It just slides up and down. Windows in Europe sound needlessly complicated

      But will there still be air coming through when there is wind pushing on that side of the house?

      I guess they are kind of complicated, but energy efficient windows make it possible to increase the window area and size without losing too much heat. Energy is also more expensive over here, which probably helps in that decision, as the cost of these windows can be easily recouped in a few years just by needing less energy to heat the house.
