UOIT uses one of the world's largest geothermal well fields to help heat and cool its buildings. Made up of 384 holes drilled 213 metres (700 feet) into the ground, the sophisticated system takes advantage of the Earth's relatively constant temperature to provide a stable, low-maintenance and efficient energy source.
