I'm planning on using earth tubes similar to how Citrus in the Snow uses them, but for home heating and cooling. My thought is to simply use the ~55ºF in the summer by pumping it to the ventilation system during the summer. Then during the winter I want to us it as a baseline to get/keep temperature up to the 55ºF mark and then raise the temp up from there as needed.
Any experience in setting up such a system for cooling + heating?
I've been told that I'd need to watch out for moisture and mold issues in the tubes, etc. but I can't help but wonder if that will really be an actual problem from what I've seen from Citrus in the Snow.
Any thoughts?
