Abstract: According to the northeast climate characteristics and natural conditions in rural areas and the working principle of solar house,this paper designed the house type and structure of rural houses to use effectively solar energy for solving the problems of winter heating and summer cooling of rural houses.In addition,it was analyzed the economic benefit by solar energy.Through the pilot project,it has been proved that the solar house design can improve greatly the thermal performance of a rural house,reduce the energy consumption of rural house for winter heating and adjust its summer indoor temperature to achieve the purpose of energy-saving,environmental protection and low cost.Hence it is feasible to take the road of sustainable development.
