Passive heating in thermally compliant office building: Validated and simulated scenarios

This work aims at answering the question–to what extent thermally compliant buildings are involved in ensuring the winter indoor thermal comfort of occupants in cold semi-arid climates in Morocco. Real-time monitoring of a new-built university building located in eastern Morocco was conducted. The g...
