Did you have to run AC in the summer, or did geo-thermal cover it?

I have AC in the house and a vent in the room, but I doubt that even made a difference. I just kept the door open to the rest of the basement. On the hottest day I didn't really affect the room temps. I was planning on putting in a ventilation system if there were issues that would draw hot air out of the room near the ceiling and draw in cool air near floor using the rest of the basement.
The big thing is the winter. I have to keep the door shut and a heater on (It is plugged into a thermostat). It was a lot worse when the room was not insulated. Heater ran almost all the time.
One thing to think about is the room I have them in has 3 walls that are in contact with the ground. I would think an inside room or a room with only 2 walls in contact with the ground would change things. Maybe warmer in the summer and cooler in the winter, but who knows.
