Research on Micro-Climate Improvement of Traditional Guanzhong Dwellings — Case Study of Xi’an Sanxuejie Historic District

Abstract:

In modern urban developing process, due to the influence and restriction of historic and economic factors, many historic districts are facing problems such as lack of widespread traditional style building conservation, poor micro-climate conditions, and low living comfort level and so on. Under the trend of increasing attention to the protection of the historic district’s traditional style, the poor micro-climate living conditions fail to be significantly improved. Therefore how to properly combine protecting the historic district’s traditional style and improving the micro-climate becomes a serious problem to be solved, so as to achieve the aim of keeping the historic district’s traditional style and stimulating the vitality of the micro-climate environment. This paper takes the case of Xi’an Sanxuejie Historic District, and studies possible solutions to integrate traditional style’s protection and improvement of micro-climate. Through fieldwork and data collection, the author provides suitable micro-climate improving methods for the traditional courtyard. The purpose is to offer new methods to achieve sustainable development of historic districts.
