Prefabrication as a sustainable construction method has become a trend for use in house construction. However, the construction of rural houses in China still mainly adopts on-site construction, which also raises wasteful resources and environmental problems. Previous studies lack an evaluation system for the implementation potential of prefabricated rural housing in counties, and thus cannot provide references for the government to formulate implementation strategies. This study uses PEST analysis to establish an evaluation index system for the implementation potential of prefabricated rural housing and then evaluates 32 counties in Chongqing with urbanization rates below 90% based on the entropy weighted TOPSIS model. The results show that the weight values of the four evaluation subsystems of political, economic, social, and technological are 0.4516, 0.3152, 0.0684, and 0.1648, respectively; the nearness degrees of Dianjiang, Yubei, Jiangjin, and Rongchang are 0.5475, 0.4439, 0.4312, and 0.4103, respectively, ranking in the top four in Chongqing. The results indicate that the potential of implementing prefabricated rural housing in Chongqing is closely related to policy orientation and construction industrialization; Dianjiang, Yubei, Jiangjin, and Rongchang have the relative advantage of implementing prefabricated rural housing. Finally, this paper proposes political, economic, social, and technological suggestions for the implementation of prefabricated rural housing in Chongqing.

The geometric shape of the roof and the opening position are important parameters influencing the internal cross-ventilation of buildings. Although there has been extensive research on natural ventilation, most of it has focused on flat or sloping roofs with the same opening positions. There is still limited research on the impact of different opening positions and sloping roofs on natural ventilation. In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to investigate the air exchange efficiency (AEE) in general isolated buildings. These buildings encompassed three distinct opening configurations (top–top, top–bottom, and bottom–top) and six varying slope angles for gable roofs (0°, 9°, 18°, 27°, 36°, and 45°). Computational simulations were carried out using the SST k-omega turbulence model, and validation was performed against experimental data supplied by the Japanese AIJ Wind Tunnel Laboratory. Grid independence validation was also conducted to ensure the reliability of the CFD simulation results. The study revealed that the highest AEE was 48.1%, achieved with the top–bottom opening configuration and a gable roof slope angle of 45°. Conversely, the lowest AEE was 31.4%, attained with the bottom–top opening configuration and a gable roof slope angle of 27°. Furthermore, it was observed that when the opening configuration was set to top–top and bottom–top, the slope angle of the gable roof had minimal influence on AEE, with an average AEE of only around 33%. When the opening configuration was top–bottom, it was found that there was a positive correlation between the gable roof slope angle and AEE.

In this paper, by drawing on the advanced experience and norms at home and abroad, the compilation and research of “intelligent technical guidelines” for Chongqing east railway station and its supporting hub area are completed. It includes “digital technology, intelligent construction,” “accurate and flexible, intelligent service,” and “panoramic management and control, intelligent operation, and maintenance,” and has formed the whole life cycle technical framework of “intelligent construction, intelligent service, intelligent management, and operation and maintenance.”

Different from the state of large‐scale energy use and concentrated energy conservation in urban areas, the state of energy use and energy conservation in rural areas has its own characteristics and typical problems. Rural areas have been concentrated on the multiple differences in economic, social, and construction characteristics such as mountain and peace dam topography, natural and artificial construction, developed and underdeveloped, rapid urban development, and relatively backward rural development. It has practical problems that need to be solved urgently, such as the “insufficient savings” in the construction of farmhouses and the “insufficient open source” of clean energy applications. The discussion will be conducted from three aspects: the planning and layout design of rural houses in Chongqing, the performance of the enclosure structure of rural houses in key seasons, and the application of renewable clean energy in rural houses. Then put forward is the energy‐saving design path of Chongqing farmhouse. It aims to improve the indoor and outdoor thermal environment of farmhouses, saving heating energy consumption in winter and air‐conditioning energy consumption in summer and effectively benefit users to use renewable energy such as biogas, straw, and solar energy. Finally, explore the adaptability between the design methods of farmhouses and the local characteristics of Chongqing’s rural areas. In the work of Chongqing Design Going to the Countryside, we create a contemporary farmhouse case that is not only energy‐saving but also has good indoor and outdoor space quality. It also provides a reference for the energy‐saving design of farmhouses in Chongqing and other regions in China.
