I toured an earth sheltered home in Illinois a few years ago. The builder claimed low heating bills. The home was originally built with hot water radiant heat in the floor, with the heat provided by a gas hot water heater rated at 40,000 BTUH. That was not enough, so they had to add a second hot water heater.
For comparison, my own above ground house is located in Northern Wisconsin. It only needs 13,000 BTUH to heat it in colder weather than is experienced down in Illinois.
