An indoor space environment heating and cooling system in which a massive thermal storage unit is interposed between a geothermal heat energy storage capacity－the earth－and a heat pump heating and/or cooling apparatus for controlling and maintaining the environment in an indoor living space. A fluid circulation apparatus is provided to circulate a working fluid from the massive thermal storage unit directly to a heat exchanger in the indoor space environment conditioning apparatus, to provide cooling when the temperature of the thermal storage unit is less than the temperature in the living space.

A geothermal system for heating and cooling the environment of indoor living space, comprising: (a) a massive thermal storage means; (b) a geothermal storage capacity means connected to the massive thermal storage means in a heat transfer relationship by a first subsystem comprising a closed circuit

A geothermal system for heating and cooling the environment of indoor living space, comprising: (a) a massive thermal storage means; (b) a geothermal storage capacity means connected to the massive thermal storage means in a heat transfer relationship by a first subsystem comprising a closed circuit for conducting a working fluid between the massive thermal storage means and the geothermal storage capacity means as induced by a first pumping means in the closed circuit, the geothermal storage capacity means being the earth; (c) heat pump means operably connected to a first heat exchanger in the environment of the living space and operably connected to a second heat exchanger in the massive thermal storage means in heat exchange contact with the working fluid; and (d) a second subsystem comprising a closed circuit for conducting the working fluid between the massive thermal storage means and a third heat exchanger in the environment of the living space connected in heat exchange contact with the working fluid.
