主　　题：Infiltration Vernacular building Seasonal pattern Psychrometric Solar radiation Admittance 

摘      要：The purpose of this paper is to provide understanding of the seasonal pattern of air leakage(infiltration)in Chinese vernacular buildings across China’s five climate *** achieving the set purpose,a grand extensive literature survey was conducted and supported with data drawn from established Meteonorm V6.1 on sensible heat and psychrometric *** computations for normalized and specific infiltration from stack effects followed the Gowri method in line with ASHRAE reference *** energy admittance into building followed Bouger’s model form Angstrom *** the distribution of vernacular buildings across five climate regions of China,evidence from computational and numerical values showed symmetries in terms of minimums and maximums times of ***,a reciprocal pattern exists between solar radiative admittance and region’s temperature *** that Chinese vernacular building heritage extended to further Asia,this research became limited to only the Chinese *** became difficult to report if the construction culture away from China has correlation with infiltration and energy admittance *** works on Chinese climate and vernacular dwellings reported a climate responsive dwelling designed by passive cooling strategy;a gap was closed by extending the previous work to specific infiltration pattern and energy admittance *** vernacular buildings by virtue of research outcomes are and should be adoptable to modern housing needs for cultural integration.
