For new builds one could put 4" pipes under the floor slab & insulation

One of the things I sometimes wonder about is why so many UK houses
are built without cellars. These are excellent at moderating summer
temperatures.

Actually I would be, but for two reasons.

- additional recreational area

- wine storage.

Unfortunately the proletariat does not seem to agree with this notion.
