Yes that is a consideration.
I had a set up at the other place where I had sand stone wall up to about waist height ready for a dome which I never did build ..I used it for visual only.
I had coiled Polly pipe in the floor to heat or cool it but never did use it.
However it certainly did not seem to hold the heat in the winter.
I gave up on it because I had not taken the pier down to bedrock and to do that I would have had to go thru 2 foot of rock I put under the floor before I got to top soil. When I found bedrock only three foot down outside the front of the house I put a pier down there and build a two foot deep cement and rock patio around it for the roll off shed.
