Yes 100% possible. My future design aims to be fully passive solar. In my current dwelling I am during the day, and built a walker stove (Tiny rocket mass cook stove) for the night. Use about 1 cord of wood a year. I do plan to include a similar stove in the future design for those 1-2 weeks a year where the overcast is long enough in the winter. It's all about 3 things. 1. Thermal Mass 2. A way to charge that mass with the right window to mass ration and exposure. 3. Insulation Personally my (currently in redesign) future dwelling will likely be largely underground in a hillside to tap into earth stable temperatures. This alone should make a huge difference.

Passive geothermal is the way! I've been researching ground-air-heat-transfer designs for greenhouses to create passive zone boosting. After I test it out for a greenhouse I'm curious to see if I think it has application for a home design.
