[Greenbuilding] Geothermal a/c

[Phil Schawe]

Another question:

I'm designing a waterfront house on the the gulf coast, and considering a geothermal heat pump for a/c.
Especially attractive with 30% tax credit. And no outside compressors degrading in salt-air.

Anyone have experience with geothermal cooling in a hot/humid climate?
I see them touted a lot in heating climates. Just curious if I should believe the hype.

And yes, I've talked with suppliers about 'hot loops' and why they happen.

Thanks for any insight!
