Going back the the fan direction...

I run it so that it pulls the air up. I have a really cool basement. Now, in a hot house, I cant imagine it doing much if there isnt any cooler air below that needs to be drawn up. In that case, I would think that forcing the air down would provide more relief, at least while you are under it.

To test which direction the blades need to run, I simply lick my finger and hold it under them. If the bottom of my finger gets a little cooler than the top, then the air is being forced up.
