General Comments 一般性评论
This manuscript addresses a vital subject: the indoor thermal environment and energy consumption in traditional dwellings of the Sichuan Plateau. The study’s focus on ethnic minority areas, where unique climatic, cultural, and economic factors converge, highlights the critical need for sustainable and culturally sensitive building practices. The research is particularly valuable given the increasing global emphasis on reducing building energy consumption and carbon emissions while ensuring occupant comfort, especially in underrepresented rural regions with limited resources. Integrating field measurements, questionnaire surveys, and advanced simulation tools provides a robust framework for understanding and optimizing building performance in such contexts. However, several areas require significant refinement to ensure the findings’ clarity, depth, and broader 本手稿探讨了一个重要课题:四川高原传统民居的室内热环境和能源消耗。这项研究的重点是少数民族地区,那里汇集了独特的气候、文化和经济因素,突出了对可持续和文化敏感的建筑实践的迫切需要。鉴于全球日益重视减少建筑能耗和碳排放,同时确保居住舒适度,尤其是在资源有限、代表性不足的农村地区,这项研究尤为重要。将实地测量、问卷调查和先进的模拟工具相结合,为了解和优化此类环境下的建筑性能提供了一个强有力的框架。然而,有几个方面需要大力改进,以确保研究结果的清晰度、深度和广度

The manuscript contains several overstated claims that require revision for accuracy and alignment with the evidence presented. 手稿中有几处言过其实,需要修改以确保准确性,并与所提供的证据保持一致。
1- Claim: “The research on the energy consumption of traditional houses of ethnic minorities in the Sichuan Plateau region not only has direct guiding significance for the construction practice of the living environment in this region but also has important practical significance for exploring the construction model of rural living environments in the same type of ethnic minority areas.” ISSUE: It is overly broad and lacks supporting evidence or specific examples. 1- 主张:"对川西高原地区少数民族传统民居能耗的研究,不仅对该地区人居环境建设实践具有直接的指导意义,而且对探索同类型少数民族地区农村人居环境建设模式具有重要的现实意义。"问题:过于宽泛,缺乏佐证和具体事例。
2- Claim: “The optimization measures effectively improve thermal comfort and reduce energy consumption.” Issue: While the simulation results support this claim, the lack of field validation weakens its inclusiveness. 2- 声明:"优化措施有效改善了热舒适度并降低了能耗"。问题:虽然模拟结果支持这一说法,但缺乏实地验证削弱了其包容性。
3- Claim: “This study is not only significant for the Sichuan Plateau but also provides a model that can be replicated in ethnic minority areas globally.” Issue: The claim assumes universal applicability without addressing regional differences in climate, resources, or construction practices. 3- 主张:"这项研究不仅对四川高原意义重大,而且为全球少数民族地区提供了一个可复制的模式"。问题:该主张假定了普遍适用性,而没有考虑到气候、资源或建筑实践方面的地区差异。
4- Claim: “The integration of field measurements and simulation provides a comprehensive framework for understanding and optimizing traditional dwellings.” Issue: The integration process is not explicitly detailed, making this claim appear overstated. 4- 声明:"实地测量与模拟的结合为了解和优化传统住宅提供了一个综合框架"。问题:没有明确详细说明整合过程,使这一说法显得过于夸张。
5- Claim: “The optimization measures resulted in a significant reduction in energy consumption.” Issue: The quantitative improvement ( 56.5%56.5 \% ) is significant but requires an emphasis on the specific context (e.g., simulation-based winter heating). 5- 声称:"优化措施大大降低了能源消耗"。问题:定量改进( 56.5%56.5 \% )意义重大,但需要强调具体情况(例如,基于模拟的冬季供暖)。
Reviewer 2 审查员 2
The paper focuses on the energy and environmental optimization of dwellings in the Sichuan Plateau. While the topic is relevant, the paper has several shortcomings that must be addressed. 本文重点关注四川高原住宅的能源和环境优化问题。虽然该主题具有现实意义,但本文也存在一些必须解决的不足之处。
From a formal perspective, the paper is overly lengthy, and certain sections include unnecessary content that detracts from its core purpose. 从形式上看,本文篇幅过长,某些章节包含不必要的内容,偏离了本文的核心宗旨。
On the content side, there are issues regarding the research gap and questions. The study appears to be a case study investigation, presenting field measurements and simulations, but lacks a broader academic framework. The proposed solutions seem more aligned with professional practice than academic research. Detailed issues are outlined below. 在内容方面,存在研究空白和问题方面的问题。该研究似乎是一项案例研究调查,提出了实地测量和模拟,但缺乏更广泛的学术框架。提出的解决方案似乎更符合专业实践,而非学术研究。详细问题概述如下。
Abstract: Quantitative details, including key results, are missing and should be included to provide a concise summary of findings. 摘要:缺少定量细节,包括关键结果,应包括这些细节,以便对研究结果进行简明扼要的总结。
Introduction 导言
Several sections are inadequately referenced, and the introduction is overly long. Please focus only on key issues. For example, statements like “It can not only supplement traditional static calculation […] of buildings” do not present a novelty and should be removed. 有几个章节的参考资料不足,导言过长。请只关注关键问题。例如,"它不仅可以补充传统的建筑物静力计算[......]"等说法并不新颖,应予删除。
The review of the literature (e.g., studies from [14] to [28]) is overly descriptive. Instead, synthesize relevant findings to highlight the research gap. 文献综述(如从 [14] 到 [28] 的研究)过于描述性。相反,应综合相关研究结果,突出研究空白。
Adaptive strategies for this building type could be considered as a means to improve thermal comfort and reduce energy consumption. Relevant examples can be found in https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2023.113756 or https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2021.111417. 可以考虑对这种建筑类型采取适应性策略,作为改善热舒适度和降低能耗的一种手段。相关实例可参见 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2023.113756 或 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2021.111417。
The research gap section is too specific and fails to establish a broader academic relevance. The research gap should be framed more broadly than a simple case study to emphasize its significance. 研究差距部分过于具体,未能确立更广泛的学术相关性。研究差距的范围应比简单的案例研究更广,以强调其重要性。
Methodology 方法
Section 2.1: Focus only on relevant details, such as climate characteristics, and remove superfluous content. 第 2.1 节:只关注相关细节,如气候特征,删除多余内容。
Questionnaire: Clarify whether the questions were open-ended or based on a scale, when and how they were administered, and whether they were a one-off or longitudinal survey. Table 2 includes probe characteristics, but the schedule or timing of the survey is missing. 问卷调查:说明问题是开放式的还是基于量表的,何时及如何进行,是一次性调查还是纵向调查。表 2 列出了调查对象的特征,但缺少调查的日程或时间。
Section 2.3: The characteristics of the case study buildings should be consolidated in one section. Additionally, clarify the duration of the monitoring campaign (e.g., specific times, total length of monitoring). 第 2.3 节:案例研究建筑的特点应合并到一个章节中。此外,请明确监测活动的持续时间(如具体时间、监测总长度)。
Results 成果
Irrelevant information should be removed (e.g., “The village is full of sunshine and abundant crop products, mainly wheat, corn, barley, beans, and potatoes”). Lengthy descriptions such as “(1) Architectural orientation […] normative guidance and scientific design” are unnecessary. 应删除无关信息(如 "该村阳光充足,农作物丰富,主要有小麦、玉米、大麦、豆类和马铃薯")。诸如"(1)建筑定位[......]规范指导、科学设计 "之类的冗长描述没有必要。
Figure 6a: The label “mezzo” is unclear and does not align with the ASHRAE scale. 图 6a:夹层 "标签不清晰,与 ASHRAE 标准不符。
Figure 7: Specify whether these temperatures correspond to a single day. Include key statistical metrics such as mean, max, min values, and standard deviations of environmental parameters in a table (apply this to Figures 8-9 as well). 图 7:说明这些温度是否对应一天。在表格中包含关键的统计指标,如环境参数的平均值、最大值、最小值和标准偏差(也适用于图 8-9)。
Section 4 第 4 节
Thermal parameters of the building envelope should be moved to the methodology section for clarity. 为清晰起见,应将建筑围护结构的热参数移至方法部分。
Section 4.2: Merely comparing simulated and real data is insufficient. Simulations should be validated following established guidelines, such as ASHRAE Guideline 14-2002. 第 4.2 节:仅仅比较模拟数据和真实数据是不够的。模拟验证应遵循既定准则,如 ASHRAE 准则 14-2002。
Section 5 第五节
Note that the correct term is “operative temperature,” not “operating” or “operation temperature.” 请注意,正确的术语是 "工作温度",而不是 "操作温度 "或 "运行温度"。
Conclusions should be also revised, when the content of the paper has been modified. 如果论文的内容有所修改,也应修改结论。
Reviewer 3 审查员 3
Thanks to the authors for submitting their work to Scientific Reports. Indeed, it is an interesting study, with potential to the current discourse of knowledge. However, I recommend some improvements before this paper is considered for publication. 感谢作者向《科学报告》投稿。的确,这是一项有趣的研究,对当前的知识讨论具有潜力。不过,我建议在考虑发表这篇论文之前对其进行一些改进。
Introduction 导言
I think the introduction covers the background well, but it doesn’t clearly articulate what specific research gap(s) this study intends to fill. This section does mention some previous studies on energy consumption simulation and traditional houses; however, it needs a stronger statement about what aspects remain unexplored and how this study uniquely contributes to addressing them. Currently, I cannot see this! Please be reminded that substantiating the gap in knowledge is of utmost importance, without which the novelty of your work cannot be claimed. 我认为引言很好地介绍了背景,但没有明确说明本研究打算填补哪些具体的研究空白。这一部分确实提到了之前关于能耗模拟和传统房屋的一些研究;但是,这一部分需要更有力地说明哪些方面仍未被探索,以及本研究如何为解决这些问题做出独特贡献。目前,我还看不到这一点!请注意,证实知识空白是最重要的,否则就不能声称您的工作具有新颖性。
The discussion on the need for energy efficiency in ethnic minority regions is valid, but I feel the justification for focusing specifically on the Sichuan Plateau could be stronger. The text does mention socio-economic and environmental constraints but does not sufficiently explain why this region is particularly suitable for study compared to other rural or cold-climate areas. I recommend that the authors provide a clearer argument on why insights from this region are transferable or generalizable to improve the impact of the study. 关于少数民族地区提高能源效率的必要性的论述是有道理的,但我认为将重点放在川西高原 的理由可以更充分一些。文中确实提到了社会经济和环境方面的制约因素,但没有充分解释为什么与其他农村或寒冷气候地区相比,该地区特别适合进行研究。我建议作者提供更清晰的论据,说明为什么该地区的见解可以转移或推广,以提高研究的影响力。
Method 方法
This section is generally structured well, though it could use some improvements. For instance, it outlines the use of field measurements, questionnaires, and DesignBuilder simulation, but it does not 本节总体结构合理,但仍需改进。例如,它概述了实地测量、问卷调查和 DesignBuilder 模拟的使用,但没有
clearly justify why this combination of methods was chosen over alternatives. For instance, why was DesignBuilder selected instead of other energy modeling tools like EnergyPlus or TRNSYS? Please justify. 明确说明为什么选择这种方法组合而不是其他方法组合。例如,为什么选择 DesignBuilder 而不是 EnergyPlus 或 TRNSYS 等其他能源建模工具?请说明理由。
I’ve got some doubts regarding the design of questionnaire as well. Were pre-tests/pilot study conducted to refine the questions? Was there an effort to ensure the questionnaire minimizes bias (e.g., leading questions or respondent misinterpretation)? Also, how did you land on these questions? What was the process of designing and finalising the questions? How did you find your respondents? How did you verify that the respondents were the right research subjects? What was your distribution approach? Many details as such were absent. 我对问卷的设计也有些疑问。是否进行了预先测试/试点研究以完善问题?是否努力确保问卷最大限度地减少偏差(如引导性问题或受访者的误解)?你们是如何确定这些问题的?设计和最终确定问题的过程是怎样的?您是如何找到受访者的?如何确认受访者是正确的研究对象?你们的分发方式是什么?许多此类细节都不存在。
Same for the field survey; there is no discussion on possible external influences that could impact accuracy (e.g., variations in solar exposure, human activity, or ventilation patterns during testing). Were any calibration procedures applied? 实地调查也是如此;没有讨论可能影响准确性的外部影响(如测试期间太阳照射、人类活动或通风模式的变化)。是否采用了校准程序?
Results 成果
I believe this section also needs a significant overhaul as there is a clear lack of depth in the analyses done here. For example, while the results show that many residents feel dampness indoors, it would strengthen the argument if this perception were explicitly connected to the measured humidity data. Same as for wall thermal performance, there is no discussion on how the wall’s performance compares to existing benchmarks or standards. How does this 2.2^(@)C2.2^{\circ} \mathrm{C} difference compare to similar studies in cold climates? Does it meet recommended insulation values? 我认为这一部分也需要大修,因为这里的分析明显缺乏深度。例如,虽然结果显示许多居民感觉室内潮湿,但如果能将这种感觉与测量的湿度数据明确联系起来,就能加强论证。与墙体热性能一样,这里也没有讨论墙体性能与现有基准或标准的比较。这种 2.2^(@)C2.2^{\circ} \mathrm{C} 差异与寒冷气候条件下的类似研究相比如何?是否符合推荐的隔热值?
Section 5 第五节
I would recommend that authors consider including some comparative discussion on how values related to heat transfer coefficients compare with existing benchmarks or most importantly previous studies in similar climate zones. 我建议作者考虑纳入一些比较性讨论,说明与传热系数相关的数值如何与现有基准进行比较,最重要的是与以前在类似气候区进行的研究进行比较。
Another recommendation is that authors do some sensitivity analysis. The energy savings after optimization (56.5%) is a strong outcome, but no sensitivity analysis is performed to verify the robustness of the results under different climatic conditions or material variations. 另一项建议是作者应进行一些敏感性分析。优化后的节能率(56.5%)是一个很好的结果,但没有进行敏感性分析,以验证在不同气候条件或材料变化下结果的稳健性。
