title = "A comparative investigation on sustainable strategies of vernacular buildings and modern buildings in southwest China",
abstract = "Vernacular architecture results from long-term growth with strong regionalism and passive methods responding to climate. Its sustainable design strategies are widely recognized as passive and effective solutions to the field of building energy efficiency. This research is proposed to comparatively investigate sustainable design strategies and evaluate environmental performance of vernacular buildings and modern buildings in the South-west China. We conducted an in-depth field investigation including questionnaires on 50 selected traditional buildings and two series of continued measurements (on April and Auguest) on 6 selected representative buildings in Tongzi, Chongqing. This paper focuses on the comparative analysis of thermal performance in vernacular dwellings and modern dwellings. The results reveal that certain efficient and effective passive design strategies exist in the vernacular buildings in South-west area of China.",
