Résumé:
This work aims to introduce a new ecological system that has not been previously applied in
Algeria especially in the Guelma and one of its regions that renowned for its abundance of
natural hot springs is hammam Ouled Ali and its remarkable geothermal potential which is
characterized by its high geothermal gradient for thermal therapeutic uses. The region is
characterized by a semi-arid climate; this climate is mild and rainy in winter and hot in summer.
Making it an ideal location for sustainable energy systems that provide both heating and cooling.
In this context, the project proposes the implementation of Geogrid, a geothermal district system
that uses the earth below our feet to heat and cool the home. this system is designed to serve a
small-scale eco-touristic village comprising a number of environmentally friendly bungalows
where it Interconnects all bungalows in the village, provides greater resiliency and costeffectiveness
than
individual
and
isolated
geothermal
systems.
to confirm the suitability of geothermal energy performance in optimizing indoor temperature
we used design builder software where specific building materials were selected to maximize
its benefits (thermochromic glazing), the results showed that after the installation of this system
the temperature of the air is in the ideal average between 20 and 24 all the year, well within the
comfort zone for occupants.
from this resalts we can say that the occupants will not use any other energy resources for both
heating and cooling that means a significant reduction in energy consumption, confirming the
suitability of geothermal energy for eco-tourism applications in semi-arid climates like that of
Hammam Ouled Ali. This project not only highlights geothermal potential in Algeria but also
supports the sustainable development of rural tourism through the integration of clean,
renewable energy technologies.
