Joe, I like your general approach. Do you have any idea how many tons of heating/cooling you would need, and therefore how many borings you would require? Do you know where on the site you could have these borings located?
werner, i am assuming the number of tons would be around 25-30 tons required, i think that i can get by with the one boring with a depth of around +/-1000 ft. the borings (supply and return lines) would be located on the eastern side of the building in the basement, where all of the mechanical equipment will be located (i.e. pump for the open loop system, filtration for return, equipment for hydronic pumps for heating and cooling and a cistern for the grey water resevouir and filter element).
We currently live in a 1927 Craftsman house. Recently completed a total kitchen remodel, a complete gut to the studs and build out with our own two hands.
Our family consists of three cats: Shrimpy, Cocktail and Diesel.
My fiancee, Missy, also graduated in architecture from Ohio State. She recently passed the LEED AP exam and has several active green building projects through her firm, WD Partners.
An interesting quote from Renzo Piano during an interview with Archinect: "I think it important to note the difference between style and coherence. If you're talking coherence, I love it. If you're talking about style, then I start to wonder."
