H. and Gilani, S. I. U. and Abdalfatah, M. S.}, abstract = {With the rapid rise of energy consumption in the world, lowering the energy needs of houses and buildings can have a significant effect on future of energy demand and consumption. This paper presents experimental investigation results on the effectiveness of the natural and forced ventilation in prototype of zero-energy office. The main aim of the different ventilation systems is to improve the thermal comfort within the office. The installed forced ventilation system achieved a 6{\^A}oC drop in maximum temperature within the office and improved the thermal comfort by 46. {\^A}{\copyright} The authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2017.}, keywords = {Energy utilization; Thermal comfort, Energy demands; Energy needs; Experimental investigations; Forced ventilation; Maximum temperature; Ventilation systems; Zero energies, Ventilation}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85033215561&doi=10.1051\%2fmatecconf\%2f201713104012&partnerID=40&md5=3f0187919be1a816592174663e5b5f8f} }
