I'm building a house soon. What do I need besides that is as independent as possible?

I'm ca do this cool thing I heard (Can you tell me the name or give me a website? Because they do not match). You dig wells and run multiple each downspout. Run water through the pipes and cools to the temperature below ground (70 under), so that once you look back through it as a radiator and cools the house. (If your house is cold, in fact warms up the place.) I'll also have a tank less water heater which can reduce the electricity bill too. I use as little energy as possible so that in turn can create my own energy to fill the gap. All ideas that have not thought of yet? How I can make energy a cost effective manor? Solar panels do not work, because they cost more to maintain then the money saved on electricity bills. What I need, perhaps a mixture of things?
