(1)Professor Kim Taeyeon, Department of Architectural Engineering, Yonsei University
(2)But in Japan, a lot of people use wood
(3)It doesn’t have a high heat capacity
(4)Simply put, if you build a house out of wood
(5)The moment I turn off the heat
(6)The temperature drops so fast that it gets cold quickly
(7)Then why build a house out of wood
(8)Wood is the most common building material

(10)The only ingredient that can last is wood
(11)The things that have been uploaded conventionally
(12)the present Japanese residential high school
(13)To heat the floor
(14)You have to use materials that are heat-efficient, such as stone and concrete
(15)It’s not elastic, so it breaks easily when you’re shocked
(16)So in Japan, where earthquakes are frequent
(17)Floor heating was difficult to develop
(18)I still use a heating system that only heats the air
(19)Actually, Japanese architecture
(20)The development focused on summer rather than winter
(21)Kim Taeyeon – Faculty of Architectural Engineering, Yonsei University
(22)It’s not that cold in Japan, but summer is so hot
(23)It’s a little different because the architecture has developed to adapt to the summer
(24)Professor Kim Tae-yeon, Yonsei University School of Architectural Engineering
(25)It’s good for air to flow on the floor like a tatami mat
(26)KBS Special
(27)It’s a culture that removes moisture
(28)Since it’s so cold in Korea, the floor heating is advanced

(34)Introducing floor heating systems in new buildings, etc
(35)He’s more focused on preparing for the winter
(36)per MW of residential electricity bill

(38)o $105 $258
(39)More than double;;
(40)But it’s expensive to turn on the heat
(41)There are more buildings that were built a long time ago than new ones
