Climate characteristics and climate response strategies of typical cities in hot summer and cold winter zone

This paper selects six typical cities in the hot summer and cold winter zone, analyses their climate characteristics according to the meteorological parameters such as temperature, solar radiation intensity, relative humidity, wind resources, and natural ventilation utilization potential, and proposes the climate response strategies for different cities. Overall, the hot summer and cold winter zone needs to focus on heat protection requirements and take into account thermal insulation, and should also consider the passive energy-saving technical measures such as optimization of building orientation, optimization of layout, reasonable control of window and wall area ratio, and improvement of thermal insulation performance of building envelopes. However, there are certain differences among typical cities in the choice of the passive energy-saving technical strategies such as natural ventilation, night ventilation, sunshade, solar heating, and evaporative cooling.
