The geothermal energy resources originate from the ground and its temperature varies according to depth and its thermal properties. This paper presents a numerical simulation of the soil temperature variation in different thermal properties depending on the nature of the soil.&nbsp; three different Specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity are used in this this simulation and&nbsp;&nbsp; have applied in Adrar city. Three soils A, B and C, each soil has characteristics that are different from the others are presented.&nbsp; The results showed that the soil C is considered the best soil in terms of results in the southern desert region that can be applied to help in ventilation, cooling homes in summer (22°C) and natural heating in winter (31°C). A is considered to be a soil with high thermal insulation and its results can be used for agricultural irrigation applications in desert areas in the summer season because its temperature stabilizes at 26 °C. As an economic vision, it can use the soil B in depth of 3 m to reduce costs, based on the convergence of&nbsp; the results of soil C in this depth, but it’s remain less effective</p&gt;}, number={02}, journal={Algerian Journal of Renewable Energy and Sustainable Development}, author={Belatrache, Djamel and Saifi, Nadia and Harrouz, Abdelkader and Bentouba, said}, year={2020}, month={Dec.}, pages={165-174} }
