First, conserve.

"Today, thereis worldwide concern about environmental pollution and the depletion of resources. In response, there is a drive to harness new, renewable energies. Before that, however, we must urgently consider how to conserve energy."

Geo Power System Co.,Ltd., founder Toko Hashimoto spent his early career as a mechanical engineer on large international freight ships. Working at sea, he learned how important it is to reduce, reuse, and recycle all limited energy resources.

In 1980, after retiring from the shipping industry, he founded construction company Toko Industries Co., Ltd., and set out to revolutionize building construction with the innovative idea of harnessing geothermal energy for heating and cooling. In 2000, he founded Geo Power System Co., Ltd., as a spin off from Toko Industries.

"After a number of years in construction I realized the need for alternative energy resources and became interested in newer concepts, such as the use of geothermal energy as the driver of natural air-conditioning. Utilizing my background as an engineer, I spent many years conducting R&D to create the Geo Power System.

As an unlimited resource, geothermal energy offers an ideal means of conserving fossil fuel-derived energy. What is more, it provides natural comfort and contributes to health. We are committed to creating eco-friendly homes and buildings, and invite you to consider how the Geo Power System can help you do the same."
