The research on architectures with ethnic characteristics increase both domestic and abroad, and one of the important objectives of which is to find whether there is good adaptability between the space and forms of architecture and area climatic conditions, In this paper, through the field measurement of parameters and meteorological data of stilt style architecture of the minorities in Guilin of Guangxi province and ordinary residential building, and using Design-Builder simulation software to model, conducting the CFD simulation, thermal environment inside the building and indoor temperatures of the whole year were obtained, then we calculated that thermal comfort index inside the building for the full year. Comparing the simulation results, we concluded that thermal environment inside the building and thermal comfort index of stilt style architecture significantly outperformed the ordinary ones. Stilt style architectures are more suitable to the climates in Guangxi province. At present, the research of stilt style architecture is still at an early age, and this paper can provide basis for the research on the energy saving technology of stilt style architecture.
