Abstract
“Huo-Kang” has a history of more than 2,000 years and has many types and internal structures. Its construction form originated from traditional folk construction techniques. Along with the economic revitalization of the countryside, optimizing the heating problem and improving the comfort of the living room in the northern countryside has become one of the measures to update the construction of new rural housing. This study analyzes the internal structure, function and material of the Huo-Kang, which is a common type of the Huo-Kang existing in the rural areas of Northeast China. Optimization measures are proposed in terms of the Huo-Kang’s body construction, materials and dimensions to standardize the Huo-Kang construction standards and provide reference materials for future rural Huo-Kang construction.
