Komeda's thermal system operates on the natural infrared energy that comes from the sun which is beneficial to the overall health of humans. The technology to harness that energy has been tapped to pass strict international safety standards to ensure that no harmful toxins and gas will be emitted in its operation. It was also manufactured to be rust-free.
