You could also talk to Equa in Sweden. They have a building
modelling tool (IDA ICE) and a tunnel modelling tool (IDA Road and
Tunnel). They both use Equa's general purpose physics solver. The
tunnel tool in particular can model the temperature field in the
earth/ rock surrounding the tunnel (as well as network airflow,
vehicle movement and pollutant transport). It would probably be
trivial for the guys at IDA to implement some of the tunnel models
in ICE to provide you with a "climate battery" model.<br>

Hot air from the top half of the greenhouse volume is stored in
a below grade heat sink using large ducts which extract air
using a fan. (image below)</div>
