Design empowerment is an effective method for rural revitalization.The existing problems are subjective, experimental, homogenization, beautification project, urban imitation and so on, which damage the original ecology of the countryside.There are two reasons for these problems. On the one hand, blind pursuit of monetary gain. On the other hand, designers lack serious social responsibility.Therefore, the intervention of design criticism is particularly important.The empowerment of rural revitalization design involves three aspects: actors, users and society;It also contains three forms: economic form, environmental form and cultural form.The author puts forward the critical view of “temperature” evaluation on how to coordinate design for energy efficiency.This “temperature” means that designers can get close to rural needs, collect rural “temperature” and build rural feelings.Let the user feel the new atmosphere, new life, kind, natural;Let the social side feel the economic and social benefits brought by the design.This is how rural revitalization should be designed.
