A Framework to Improve the Control System Design for Integrated Residential Heating Systems in Cold Regions
DownloadFall 2013
Building space heating contributes to high consumption of energy using primarily non- renewable sources. This thesis presents a research study evaluating the design and performance of an integrated heating system utilizing the renewable energy sources of geothermal energy, solar energy, and drain...

Magnetotelluric Investigations of the Tintina Fault Zone for Geothermal Exploration at Watson Lake, Yukon
DownloadFall 2023
Geothermal energy is being investigated as a renewable source of electricity and heat production for communities in northern Canada. The successful development of a geothermal energy project requires three key components: (1) there must be a source of sufficient heat at near-surface depths....

Subsurface Geophysical Characterization of the Crystalline Canadian Shield in Northeastern Alberta: Implications for Geothermal Development
DownloadFall 2013
In northern Alberta, existing heat flow and geothermal gradient studies suggest that using geothermal heat in oil sands processing would require deep drilling of the crystalline Canadian Shield. Using a 2.36 km deep borehole located near Fort McMurray, the goal of this study is to investigate the...
