Abstract

The local inhabitants of Gansu, in the struggle against the harsh local natural environment, have formed a passive 
architecture suitable for local topography, climate and materials, and are still used today. Based on the investigation 
and study of residential buildings in 7 cities in Gansu Province, this paper summarizes the passive energy-saving 
construction measures of Gansu traditional dwellings under the regional background through analysis and 
classification. With the distribution of residential settlements, architectural form, architectural shape and other 
aspects of the analysis as well as passive energy saving measures in Gansu, the passive technology promotes the 
integration of the local traditional residential architecture, in order to improve the living environment and building 
comfort of Gansu residents to provide beneficial reference.
