I'm starting this thread as an offshoot of the passive storage thread that was kind of getting sidetracked by geothermal discussion.
For reference, that thread is over here if you want to read some of the discussion that lead to starting this thread.

The idea would be to use a water source heat pump ... or group of small water source heat pumps and a DIY geothermal field to build a much more efficient residential heating and cooling system.
Combine this with your solar system and storage and it will be a LOT easier to run heating and cooling from solar instead of trying to operate an air cooled system .... and be TOTALLY green.
