This paper explores the application strategies of the tunnel ventilation cooling technology in the rural residences based on the national conditions of rural residence in hot-summer and cold-winter areas with large energy consumption. A comprehensive analysis of the factors that influence the cooling of tunnel is conducted, and the material quality of buried pipes and basic technical parameters influencing the cool of tunnel ventilation are determined based on the site conditions of rural areas. By integrating and comparing the merits and demerits of multiple strategies, it proposes the tunnel ventilation – under f loor air distribution composite system scheme adapted to the rural residences in hot-summer and cold-winter areas and presents some improvement measures
