I'm getting into berm houses.
The basement is always the coolest place in the summer, and the warmest in the winter.
Below the frost line(~4ft) is a constant 50deg.
I thank my previous owner who installed 3" foam board around the block perimeter.
Radon is always a problem. Concrete is porous, and foundations should have a wrap(or two) before being poured.
Roof overhangs and aggressive grading keeps the water away from the house.
Downspouts can lead to a fish pond downhill or a reservoir.
