Enough what? Thermal connection to magic energy connectors?
You will get no cooling from this arrangement*. You are merely increasing your total thermal mass, and changing the proportion of above grade conduction and below grade 'losses'. I started my system like this on Saturday. You don't need burried tubes, you just need to move air from the basement to the top floor.
