Abstract
In order to study the status of the indoor thermal environment of the northwest rural dwellings in winter, the thermal performance and the residents’ adaptability are investigated and the indoor and outdoor thermal environment parameters are measured in Zhongwei region of Ningxia, the indoor thermal environment is analyzed and evaluated by the operating temperature. The results show that the northwest rural residents have strong adaptability to the cold indoor thermal environment in winter. In this area, the cold and daily temperature difference in winter is large, but the solar energy is rich, and it has the geographical advantage of developing passive solar building. The thermal performance of existing rural dwellings is poor and the indoor thermal environment is not ideal. It is necessary to enhance the thermal performance of building’s heat collection, thermal storage and enclosure structure.
