    I wonder if this tech can be integrated with heat pumps.

    Like imagine every building on the block hooked up to a single massive multi-split HVAC system with bidirectional heat pumps and an outdoor unit the size of a house. Sounds pretty solarpunk to me.

      Even better, a community ground source heat pump. It can be impractical for a single household to invest in drilling deep wells or digging up a whole yard, but a community together could do so and get serious efficiency improvements from it.
