Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This home uses a geothermal energy system, as it utilizes the steady temperature of the deep pond water as a heat source or sink. It does not use ecothermal energy (which typically refers to energy from the earth's crust), biomass fuels, or hydroelectric energy. Additionally, the source of electricity generation (burning coal at a distant power plant) is not directly related to the home's use of geothermal energy for heat exchange.
