Cost savings and sustainable
Drilling rigs making test holes can be seen in the background.
The new Prince Edward County Memorial Hospital could feature a sustainable and environmentally friendly heating and cooling system. Deep holes are now being drilled to see if the ground at the new hospital site will allow for a “closed loop” geothermal heating and cooling system. Test holes are being drilled down 500 feet. In a ‘closed loop’ geothermal system heat stored in the rock underground would be transferred up to the surface by plastic pipes.
Should the testing be viable a geothermal system will be part of the tendering process for the new hospital in Picton.
