Summary
A new system has been developed, called the Gaia Snow-Melting System (GSMS). This system uses both the low-temperature heat retained in the ground and the heat of the sun during the summer. The first system was constructed in Ninohe City, Iwate Prefecture, in 1995 and was successfully implemented.
