We also made a model with a ground heatexchanger. It is best that you create to separated loops one for heating and one for cooling. If you want to know the total energy consumption then you just need to take the sum of both pumps. You can try to make one loop and place the heating and cooling in that one loop but I don't know if that is gone give good results.

You will also need a setpoint manager I suggest follow ground temperature or just a schedule setpoint manager.
We made 3 loops but had a problem with the flow in the loop (with heatexchanger) the flow was zero what is really weird because in the heating and cooling loop there was waterflow that had heating and cooling. So if you made your changes, you may update me with your results.
