Abstract: According to the climatic characteristics in Tianjin where lies in the cold climate regions of China, the passage describes a technique called adjustable external blinds which is to enhance the architectural thermal comfort degree. This technique based on a series of experiments of architectures with different orientations in local climatic condition and numerical analysis of thermal environment with finite element method afterwards. This paper shows that alumina shutter has great advantages which can isolate indoor heat greatly in summer of Tianjin, and some optimization measures has also been adopted in order to improve indoor thermal comfort.
