Abstract Indoor thermal comfort and passive solar heating technologies have been extensively studied. However, few studies
have explored the suitability of passive solar heating technologies based on differentiated thermal comfort demands.
This work took the rural dwellings in Northwest China as the research object. First, the current indoor and
outdoor thermal environment in winter and the mechanism of residents’ differentiated demand for indoor thermal
comfort were obtained through tests, questionnaires, and statistical analysis. Second, a comprehensive passive
optimized design of existing buildings was conducted, and the validity of the optimized combination scheme was
explored using DesignBuilder… More >
