Here is a link to one way it might be done. I have not
tried it but after reading this link I learned 3 keys
that I didn't know about.

seperate thermal storage from living space
keep earth dry
takes 3 years to charge earth with heat
best suited for single story (levels not stacked) I
think

I have been wodering about this question, and I think
it maybe that the question of dust might come into
play if the heat were being transported via clean air
through a floor that had air leaks, which might be the
case in a solar heat storage system such as AGS - see
link above
