OT - Any HVAC Types around?, Vents, point which way? Options

[DuckRyder]

O.K. heres the question:

In my house all of the vent louvres point toward an outside wall (and they are all near a wall) as a result, it usually feels real warm by the wall and real not warm in the room.

Is there a proper way to determine which way a vent points, and what is it.

(I'm talking about the downstairs, and the vents are in the roof, I don't ever go upstairs and there isn't any bitching from up there, so it must not need fidling with)

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment. [wheres the blanket smilie?]

Ho, I forgot about this, it is warmer now (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

I need some better pictures but see if I can paint a picture with these two.

The area behind the Jetta is the garage; it is not heated or cooled, at least not on purpose from the house. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)

There is a vent in the ceiling centered in each of the 4 windows in the front. Those vents have non-adjustable vent grills (registers?) that point predominately toward the window. Each grille has a small (inch and a half maybe) area on each end that directs air out to the sides (3 ways). No air is directed toward the center of the room. There are corresponding vents in the ceiling toward the rear wall. One of them points at a door, one at a smaller kitchen window and two just at a wall. (Over a tub and shower.)

If you go in the front door the banister for the upstairs splits the doorway, stairwell is offset toward the garage side. Hallway to kitchen is on the other side. The crown in the front is open over the stairwell/entry way. Upstairs there is bedroom on each end and a bathroom in the area corresponding to the open entryway on the rear of the house.

That make any sense?
