The University of Regina researchers discovered an aquifer under Queen City in the 1970s.

Today, the city hopes to harness the water from that aquifer to heat its recently approved aquatic center.

How do geothermal cooling and heating work?

The geothermal system consists of an indoor unit and underground pipes. Fluid circulates through the pipes, making them highly efficient heat conductors. The pipes absorb the earth's heat and pump it back into the house's geothermal system. Heat is extracted from the fluid through the unit and distributed throughout the house.

During the summer, the whole process reverses. On hot days, heat is transferred to the ground since the ground is cooler than the air inside the house.

What factors can reduce the performance of a geothermal system?

If the geothermal system is properly designed and installed, the following factors may affect its performance:

- Filters that are dirty (fixable by cleaning the filters)

- In the ground loop, the air is trapped (this can be fixed by purging the loop)

- Declining antifreeze levels (fixed by adding more antifreeze)

- Thermostat miss-setting (human error - fixed by setting the thermostat correctly)

- The groundwater is becoming more mineralized, or the water table is dropping

Since geothermal heating and cooling use electricity, some people wonder whether it is a renewable technology.

As a matter of fact, geothermal HVAC systems use only one unit of electricity to supply up to five units of cooling or heating.
