should A CEILING FAN RUN CLOCK WISE OR COUNTER CLOCK WISE?
Answers:
Using the Ceiling Fan Year Round. In the summer, use the ceiling fan in the counter-clockwise direction. The airflow produced by the ceiling fan creates a wind-chill effect, making you "feel" cooler. In the winter, reverse the motor and operate the ceiling fan at low speed in the clockwise direction. This produces a gentle updraft, which forces warm air near the ceiling down into the occupied space. Remember to adjust your thermostat when using your ceiling fan - additional energy and dollar savings could be realized with this simple step!

either way i think, it just depends on the way you want the air to circulate.

either, they are reversable so you can have air movement without having air blow directly on you
As you stare up at it, it should turn counterclockwise in the summer, assuming this is pushing the air downward. Some fans may be different. The purpose of a ceiling fan is to keep the air moving and make you feel cooler by helping your body remove heat from itself. As long as you can feel the air, the direction is really a non-issue.
It depends on the season. In the summer you want the air to blow on you and also help circulate air in the room. You would switch the fan to clockwise. In the winter when you want to circulate the warm air because heat rises, you would turn the fan counter-clockwise.
if the fans run clock wise it will help distribute cooler air to your room; if it runs counterclockwise, it helps to distribute warmer air.
counter clock wise , it is the turn of least resistance.everything else does.
water down the drain,tornadoes,hurricanes,
wind , sea and river currents,
vines around a tree,
circulatory systems including your blood,
the way branches develop on trees ,
because of the way we turn around the Sun.
so your fan will run smoother and cheaper if it goes with the flow
At least if the blades have been designed in the correct way to suck the air upwards this means that the colder lower air follows and the hot air that sits above is moved ,the best fans are the ones in the wall because they put the hot air imediatly outside .replacing the space with the colder air that has to follow .
in the design of the room there should be a hole at the bottom of the wall (from the outside on a shady part )where the air is cool ,and this is sucked in,
also there should be a hole in the top of the wall to allow the hot air to leave,and a current of air is created with cold air continuously coming in and hot air continously going out.
hot air rises.
with out these holes all you do is blow the air about ,with out the cooling down effect ,if the air blows on you as some´people suggest ,it is an illusion of getting fresher because of the windy feeling ,but it is totaly inefficient,
in hot climates one should always have a low hole for cold air to come in and a hole in the highest part of the roof to allow the hot air to escape.
the fan speeds up the cooling current.
to even more cool down the incoming air you can make the hole above a tray of water or inside a trellis of vines or plants that are watered daily,
the moisture absorbs the heat making the air a lot colder ,and you can even go down to 4 degrees if you drip water on bricks ,or better still clinkers(out of an industrial furnace)and the air passes this
In Africa we made simple fridges by building a room out of spaced bricks ,in a windy place ,and a hose on the top of the wall with some pin sized hole in it ,this dripped water ,keeping the bricks wet .the passing wind was cooled down by the brick moisture absorbing the heat ,and people kept meat,eggs,cheese and all sorts of food in these fridges ,the spaces between the bricks were closed with wire mesh ,to make the room mouse proof
I cooled down my beer by hanging it in a wet jute bag in the wind
sorry got carried away with your question
