Improvement Research On Contemporary Thermal Comfort In Traditional Construction System Northern Fujian Mountain Area

The project located in the northern Fujian mountainous area,where is a subtropical maritime monsoon climate,with high humidity throughout the year,long and hot summers,and short and wet winters.The traditional houses in this area are in the form of a main room combined front and rear atrium and wing rooms,except the bedrooms,the rest are air ventilated throughout the year.Those have a good response to the humid climate and have an ecological harmony with natural humanities.However,with the rapid development of society,people have higher requirements for life comfort.The traditional construction system has been unable to meet the standards of modern life in terms of hygiene,lighting,sound insulation and temperature and humidity.Due to the protection requirements of traditional villages and architectural forms,with continues use of the traditional construction,so that there is need to be modernized and updated to meet the comfort requirements of people’s contemporary life.This research is aimed at the "thermal comfort" special project among many aspects of comfort.The mountainous area of northern Fujian is a region with hot summer and cold winter.The coldest month of winter in January has an average temperature of 0~10℃ and an average relative humidity of about 80%.The problem of cold and humid in winter is prominent.Due to inconvenient transportation,transportation of conventional fuels such as coal and natural gas is difficult,and the cost of electricity for heating is also high.At the same time,the mountain area is vast,with mountains and forests all over,there are natural and artificial woods,and forest resources are abundant.However,the population in this area is small,and the annual output of trees on the mountains,excluding the production and living consumption of local residents,still has a surplus.If you look at this area as a whole,the abundant forest resources have the possibility of being used as fuel,and the potential is huge.Although compared to coal,electricity,natural gas and other energy sources,firewood has the lowest thermal efficiency,but it is cheap and easy to obtain,and has abundant capacity.For the mountainous areas of northern Fujian,it is the most realistic heating fuel.Simultaneously,the local residents have the tradition of using firewood for cooking,but it has gradually decreased with the development of society.Therefore,using firewood for heating is also a regenerative transmission of the traditional firewood habit.In this design,a traditional house named Wu’s house was selected on Dong Street in the vellagy of Jinping,Zhenghe County,Fujian Province,and it has been using as a residence for modernization and design.On the premise of retaining the climate response strategy and construction logic of the traditional construction system,the main structure and ceremonial space are retained,and the spatial pattern is re-divided to solve the problems of hygiene,lighting,and sound insulation.By learning from the heating experience of the heated kang in the north,we focus on solving the indoor temperature and humidity problems.The whole thesis contains about 20000 words,70 pictures and charts.
