A miniature house with real Ondol (*온돌)

Neowajib(*너와집) is a traditional Korean house with shingle (Neowa) roofs instead of tiles.
This is a house used by Hwajeonmin(*화전민: slash-and-burn farmers) in the past.
On sunny days, the roofing material shrinks for good ventilation, and on rainy days,
it absorbs moisture and prevents rainwater from leaking.
It's hard to see now. It's a type of house that originally developed in a mountain village in Hamgyeong-do(*함경도/North Korea).

Ondol (*온돌)
The Korean traditional floor heating system "ondol" dates back to the Gogureo(*고구려) era.
It originated in cold northern regions and spread to all southern areas during the Joseon(*조선) period.
It still remains the indispensable part of Koreans' everyday lives.
That's why many idioms in Korean are about the heated floor "ondol" or "gudeuljang(*구들장)."
The narrator of the show is a young man who is a fan of "ondol."
He tells about his nostalgia for "ondol" and its role in his mother's love for him.
The narrator also introduces the structure of "ondol" and how fire in a fireplace can heat the entire house.

Ondol(*온돌) is underfloor heating similar to a Kang bed-stove that uses direct heat transfer from wood smoke to heat the underside of a thick masonry floor. In modern usage it refers to any type of underfloor heating, or to a hotel or a sleeping room in Korean (as opposed to Western) style.

The main components of the traditional Ondol are an Agungi(*아궁이/firebox or stove) accessible from an adjoining room (typically kitchen or master bedroom), a raised masonry floor underlain by horizontal smoke passages, and a vertical, freestanding chimney on the opposite exterior wall providing a draft. The heated floor, supported by stone piers or baffles to distribute the smoke, is covered by stone slabs, clay and an impervious layer such as oiled paper.

Electric resistance heating films consist of a substrate film, most commonly made from plastic, printed or coated with a resistance material and electric contact busbars. This is laminated or coated with another layer of insulating film, usually similar to the substrate.

Electrical contacts can be made using various types of crimp contacts, which make contact through the covering films to the internal busbars. If the operating voltage is high enough, the contacts must be additionally insulated and additional safety insulation or safety earth covering must be provided over the film to protect users from shock, in case of damage to the installed film.

Heating films can be used as a replacement for conventional heating systems, as a primary heat source or used to augment existing systems. Due to the simplicity of installation and ease of hiding the installation, it can be popular with DIY installers. The films can be placed or removed when needed, when installed under carpets of other easily removable floor covering. Heating controllers can allow the residents to select which surface will be heated.

Films are available with different power outputs per m2. The required power output will depend on the area covered, building insulation, required energy input to the room and maximum desired surface temperature. Many countries have regulations for the maximum floor or wall temperature. Thermostats with surface temperature sensors may be required in these jurisdictions.

This heating system is mainly used in Asian countries like Korea, where it is considered as a modern version of Ondol heating. Some heating films are semi-permanent, meaning that they need to be changed after a certain period of use, and are not widely available everywhere. However, many modern heating films can be considered permanent, lasting at least 20 years with no degradation in performance. Heating films are becoming increasingly popular globally.

Heating films are a method of electric resistance heating, providing relatively low temperatures (compared to many conventional heating systems) over large areas. Heating films can be directly installed to provide underfloor heating, wall radiant heating and ceiling radiant heating. The films can also be used in heating panels to produce wall or ceiling panel heaters.

Although heating films do not usually run at very high temperatures (typically 30C(86F) on floors and up to 40C (104F) on walls), due to the large surface area they cover, they can provide significant energy output. Also due to the low temperature, undesirable heat losses can be lower, when compared to higher temperature wet heating systems with losses from long pipe runs from the central heating source.
