Hello everyone!
A friend introduced me to an interesting heating technology today! Since we have a high groundwater level in our town (where I will be building my house next year – land already owned), his brother built his house using this exact heating method about five years ago. It works at a depth of around 7 meters (23 feet) with an average temperature of 15°C (59°F)! Until now, I was only familiar with deep drilling (70–100 meters / 230–330 feet) and surface collectors, but I had never heard or read about a system that uses groundwater until now. Why is that? Is it unprofitable (cost-benefit compared to other heating technologies), too expensive, or just not well known? At first glance, it sounds very interesting for me and my 400 m² (4,300 ft²) plot! What do you know about this heating technology?

What kind of nonsense is that? Honestly, if you don’t know, please keep quiet.Could this be expressed a bit more politely?
My architect was not at all enthusiastic about the idea when I mentioned it to her and spoke very negatively about it, but she also said that she has never installed anything like it before! Maybe she only has a negative impression because she has no experience with the system yet? What steps would I need to take now to find out if I can even get a building permit / planning permission for this, and who usually offers this type of system so I can request a quote?
Cheers!

You should find an engineering office nearby that includes geologists or hydrogeologists.
You can also simply call the environmental agency in Regensburg (Environmental Procedures Department, Ms. Stadler) and ask whether they usually issue such permits, and what the requirements are. They might even be able to tell you right away if this is unrealistic for your building site due to flood zones, etc.—I have no idea.
Do you already have a plot of land?

Yes, I already own the plot of land! Construction is planned for next year, most likely starting in April.
A friend has been using this system in his new build located 300 meters (325 yards) from my plot for three years now and is completely satisfied with it. The only issue is that my architect is opposing it.
