In recent years, with the development of economy, the proportion of building energy consumption in the national energy consumption is growing. To reduce building energy consumption, has become an important measure to reduce energy consumption, and on the basis of general building sustainability into the design is closely related to residential design. To restrict the problems existing in the cold region residential energy saving construction in our country, the study of cold region in winter heating technology to design, is to summarize a set of suitable heating technology applied in the cold region sustainable residential promotion. The article is divided into five parts, the first part is the introduction, describes the research background, contents, methods, purpose, etc.; The second part mainly introduces the passive solar energy heating technology; The third part mainly introduces the sustainability of residential status and development prospects; The fourth part is how to passive solar heating technology is applied to sustainable residence that is application techniques to explore. The fifth part is through the research, the conclusion and the outlook for the future.
