Zhou Wei
Abstract：Based on survey of current status of the Minorities’ vernacular houses in remote mountainous areas in Yunnan, the authors proposed a passive design method for the green renewal of the houses, i.e., to form the local applicable constructing techniques by using local soil, wood and tiles, as well as the abundant solar energy, and by combining local traditional methods and modern building techniques. In this way, the poor living conditions in such vernacular houses are believed to be greatly improved, and the green renewal of the houses are believed to be accomplished with low cost and smart features. The authors then introduced the practices of the Lisu Minorities’ vernacular houses in remote mountainous areas, and hopes they can promote the improvements of the dwelling conditions for people living in remote mountainous areas, and promote the achievements of the healthy and harmonious dweling conditions by conducting green renewals.
