Spatial interface of buildings in hot-summer and warm-winter regions based on climate adaptation

Abstract

Premised on the intrinsic relationship between climate, architecture, and space, this study conducts a comprehensive review of existing research on the interface of architectural space and climate adaptation. In this paper, the principle and mechanism of climate adaptation-space interface are established by examining typical building cases in regions characterized by hot summers and warm winters, while factoring in the limitations of previous studies. Finally, employing CFD simulation technology as the primary research methods, this study innovatively proposes three key combination modes for the ‘climate adaptation-space interface.’ Moreover, it obtains the design strategies that can optimize ventilation, shading, and lighting effects simultaneously within these three modes. These design strategies include the following: (1) ‘Component Concave-Convex’ - integrating a single-layer horizontal component with concave-convex window openings; (2) ‘Window-Cavity’ - combining windows with a permeability of 60% and cavities; (3) ‘Components-Windows’ - incorporating folding components with windows.
