OPEN ACCESS
This work consists to study the storage system effect on thermal performance of an agricultural greenhouse in semi-arid climate case Ghardaia. The data climate is used for predict the energy needs as comparison with another without storage system. The obtained results indicate that the outside needs are less than the not heated with 3 to 5°C during winter night. Were the product rate being 2kg/day. The thermal behavior of the greenhouse was study numerically and the results are corroborating with the literature.
