Planning and Site Selection of Ancestral Temple Buildings in the Huizhou Area and Their Green Technology

The regional architecture in China is of the strong features of form orientation. The study of traditional green construction wisdom with great regionality not only responds to the country’s calls to develop green buildings, but also pays attention to the regional characteristics of buildings and traces the local culture. Based on the tracing and inheritance of ancestral temple buildings in the Huizhou area, four kinds of planning and site-selection methods for ancestral temple buildings in the Huizhou area were analyzed and summerized investigated by 30 ancestral temple buildings in the Huizhou area, including the central axis core, "backing against Yin and facing to Yang" "reversing Yin and Yang" and "location in the east of the settlements", and then, from the external environment to the buildings, five kinds of green techniques were analyzed and summarized. Finaly, simulation softwares were used to simulate and verify the construction effect. It could be seen that speeding up the ventilation around the ancestral temple buildings, adjusting the duration of light and the ways of drainage could play a positive and important role in optimizing the environment.
