Analyses the typical meteorological year data of some representative cities in hot summer and cold winter zone and finds the significant differences of climatic characteristics between the south and north of the zone. By comparing the climatic conditions between the hot summer and cold winter zone and its adjacent zones, finds a high similarity in climate of border areas. Divides the hot summer and cold winter zone into northern transition area, central core area and southern transition area based on the latitude and indicates their climatic characteristics. Analyses briefly the suitable heating modes and building envelope design for different areas, which can be a reference for the heating design in hot summer and cold winter zone.
