Also in the

the windows are usually opened to allow the entire house to benefit of the passive

This is due to the fact that this space is not conditioned. In particular it results

Graph 2: Monitored temperatures: typical summer day
From the comparison of the two graphs (Graph1 and Graph2) it is possible to appreciate
that the summer and winter behavior of the office is really similar: the two curves have
an identical shape and they are just shifted along the temperature axis. This difference of
