By burying the poly pipe, you have created a geothermal heating/cooling system. My county just built a huge new high school and used a geothermal heating/cooling system which is designed to save electricity. In a geothermal system, electricity is used only to power a pump, not to heat or cool either liquid or air. Pipes are run through the walls of the building and buried. Liquid is pumped through the pipes. The temperature of the liquid in the pipes will equalize to the temperature of the earth or the walls. Earth tends to keep the same temperature year round, depending of course on how far down the pipe is buried, the deeper the more stable the temperature. During summer, heat is drawn out of the walls and dissipated to the ground. During winter, heat is gathered from earth and dissipated through the walls.
