I don't know where you live but the building regulations in Scotland are that the ventilators are always open, this is because as they are installed high on the window, they will let air out as hot air allways rises to the top, so they are put there to let air out, not air in, you may air in depending on the weather and the wind but generally they will do what the are desinged for and that is letting air out.
