Story summary

The geothermal system in Bahariya Oasis, Egypt, stabilizes greenhouse temperatures at 20–32°C to address extreme temperature fluctuations.
Analysis shows temperatures can be regulated with minimal energy use via on-off control for the Earth–Air Heat Exchanger (EAHE).
The optimal installation depth for the EAHE system is 4 meters, balancing geothermal efficiency with excavation costs.
These findings indicate potential for sustainable agriculture in challenging climates through innovative temperature management.
