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°C drop in maximum temperature within the office and improved the thermal comfort by 46. © The authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2017. %Z cited By 0; Conference of 2017 UTP-UMP Symposium on Energy Systems, SES 2017 ; Conference Date: 26 September 2017 Through 27 September 2017; Conference Code:131396
