We're exploring a vertical, contained, geothermal system in a coastal environment (North Carolina.) Primary use would be for cooling. This is a new commercial building, about 2400sf conditioned. As new construction, with deep foundations anyway, it seems like a good idea.

Our Mechanical engineer is telling us that it's not a durable solution - that most geo-systems have been replaced with traditional systems. Is it worth pursuing?
