Ondol
Ondol is a traditional Korean underfloor heating system for indoor climate control similar in principle to a Roman hypocaust. The main components are a fireplace or stove (also used for cooking) located below floor level, a heated floor underlayed by horizontal smoke passages, and a vertical chimney to provide a draft.
