Every new idea has some sort of precedent or echoes from the past. It is the same for the new residential buildings in Lingnan, China. In Lingnan, the vernacular knowledge of building design has been established over thousands of years. Whether it is suitable for use today should be verified. In this research, virtual simulations are employed to arrive at an overall conclusion. Virtual simulations based on PHOENICS, ENVI_MET, CadnaA, and Ecotect software were separately used for analysing the case of new residential buildings located in Lingnan. The study analysed the wind, thermal, acoustic, and light environments, which are four aspects of these new residential buildings. According to the results of our research, the paper discussed ways to amend and improve the new residential buildings that sit within the overall spirit of the vernacular knowledge of Lingnan; thus, it helps to put the traditional knowledge into the current context. The vernacular knowledge from XS to XL scale contexts, such as Feng-shui, was verified as being suitable for use in Lingnan today.

As the field of zero energy building design and research continues to progress, the use of data analysis methods is on the rise. These methods are applied to create assessment criteria, compare performance, and aid in design decision making. Decision trees, as a data-driven approach, offer interpretability and predictability, assisting designers in summarizing their design experience and serving as a foundation for design references. However, the current application of decision tree methods in the zero energy house sector primarily focuses on HVAC systems, lacking a comprehensive exploration from an architectural design perspective. Therefore, this study presents an empirical method for building and applying models based on decision trees, using zero energy house cases in severely cold regions of China as samples. Through an analysis of the interactions among various passive design parameters and the use of EnergyPlus for performance simulations, a decision tree model is established. This model aids in determining the recommended combinations of passive design parameters that meet the criteria of low energy consumption. Moreover, feature weighting highlights the most influential passive design parameters on building energy consumption, including the length of the architectural gestalt plane, the roof shape, and the ground thermal resistance. This research provides valuable methods and guidance for the design and construction of zero energy houses in severely cold regions of China.
