Vernacular dwellings incorporate effective techniques to improve the quality of the indoor environment by making full use of natural power. It is therefore expected to utilize their design concepts in making environmentally symbiotic housings. Stilt houses are common in hot and humid area, particularly in Southeast Asia. They are constructed with porous walls and floors on an elevated height above the ground. In this paper, a stilt house is modeled and analyzed by CFD to look into the effectiveness of the traditional measures. Owing to all the measure, effective natural ventilation is attained in their homes and it helps for human body to release metabolic heat.
