Looking for examples of ground source heat pumps used for commercial buildings. Any thoughts?

I’m looking for examples of ground source heat pumps being used to heat/cool large buildings, that is, something a bit bigger than an ordinary house. For example – a factory, large office building etc.

I work for the Keewatin Patricia District school board in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. We heat a number of our schools with ground source heat pumps. These buildings are in the 40,000 – 60,000 sq. ft. range. For more info check out the facilities link under the department menu at the KPDSB web site.

The idea is taking off in Australia for office buildings and is an energy efficient method of heating buildings. It doesn’t seem to be used where I am now which is in the Middle East as cooling towers offer a more energy efficient method of rejecting waste heat where only cooling is required.
