This study makes a sampling investigation of the current construction and indoor thermal environment in the old street in the ancient town Qinmuchuan. Based on the statistic analysis of the practical measured data about indoor humidity and wind speed in summer and also climate adaptation of buildings by using Weather Tool 2011, it puts forward adaptable passive strategies for construction designs. In the later rebuilding of traditional residential dwellings, walls made of raw soil should be used to adjust the weather conditions in southern Shaanxi. Then, it suggests promoting new techniques and measures. meanwhile, passive designs for construction should be fully used for the enhancement of indoor thermal comfort. Given suitable conditions, the technology of active architectural energy saving can be employed.
