Sažetak

This study investigates strategies to optimize the thermal environment and energy efficiency of rural dwellings in Yulin, China. Temperature, humidity, and solar radiation were monitored in three typical courtyard houses. Standard Deviation analysis revealed issues with indoor comfort and enclosure performance. Renovation approaches were proposed involving layout changes and envelope improvements. Simulations using Ecotect demonstrated the modifications could increase average indoor temperatures by 2.8 °C and reduce fluctuation ranges. This study provides an evidence-based methodology for enhancing rural home thermal comfort through climate-responsive design strategies tailored to the severe cold climate in Yulin, which could serve as a blueprint for similar cold regions around the world.
