Due to the extremely arid climatic conditions in the Turpan region, the application of earthen buildings in energy-saving technologies has shown unique advantages. As a traditional building method, earthen buildings can not only effectively utilize local resources and reduce energy consumption but also adapt to the local climatic characteristics. Especially under high temperatures in summer, they can maintain indoor comfort by naturally regulating the temperature. With the development of modern building technology, how to combine the energy-saving advantages of earthen buildings with modern technologies to improve their energy efficiency under extreme arid climates has become an important issue in the current construction field. This paper discusses the inheritance and innovation of energy-saving technologies in earthen buildings in the Turpan region, analyzes the limitations of existing technologies, and proposes new solutions, aiming to provide new ideas and practical paths for building energy conservation in this region.
