In order to research the climate responsive of roof buffer space in Tujia traditional folk dwellings, two typical dwellings were taken as the research objects to measure relevant environmental parameters. Subsequently, the measurements were compared to analyze the coupling relationship between roof buffer space and indoor thermal environment. Analysis shows that the roof buffer space has the remarkable ability to block solar radiation, with the cooperation of valley-mountain breeze, which makes up for the shortcomings of poor thermal inertia and small heat insulation of wooden-plank wall dwellings: The indoor temperature peak reduces 2 °C; the range of difference between indoor average radiant temperature and the air temperature is 0.46 °C all day. The findings can guide the construction of modern wood-framed dwellings.
