Abstract

Traditional Tibetan dwelling is a unique building style formed in the plateau environment. Due to technical and economic limits, traditional Tibetan dwellings perform insufficiently to face the high comfort requirements of contemporary life under cold climate. In this paper, we selected two typical dwellings, located in Chamdo Region and Kangding County respectively, to carry out the indoor thermal environment measurement in winter, and to optimize the design methods of residential houses. The results of this comparative studu shows that under similar conditions of solar radiation, the indoor thermal environment is better in Kangding residential house is. The differences in building layout, envelope material and solar energy usage are the primary reasons for this phenomenon.
