@phdthesis{oai:kitakyu.repo.nii.ac.jp:00000989, author = {オウ, セイ}, month = {2022-06-04}, note = {This research presents a new approach, which defines "a rural house with yards" as the basic unit of rural residence (RBU) and constructs a model for this unit passive energy-saving technologies. A theoretical framework is established to analyse the formation of the basic unit and considers the RBU as similar to a biological cell with its general internal structure. The prototype theory, bioscience theory and the strategy of passive energy-saving technology are applied. This approach provides a suitable concept for the analysis of the formation and composition of rural residences and propose a method to integrate passive energy-saving technologies with the other aspects during the early design stage. The results show that renovation based on this menu and new approach results in a clear improvement in the thermal comfort. And the aim of this research and new approach is to provide a reference model for rural construction.}, school = {北九州市立大学}, title = {BIOMIMIC APPROACH TO PASSIVE ENERGY-SAVING DESIGN OF RURAL RESIDENCES IN NORTHERN ZHEJIANG, CHINA}, year = {} }
