Using 30 years of high-resolution meteorological data (1989–2019) from 108 weather stations in Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, and Western Sahara, HDD and CDD values were calculated for six base temperatures (HDD: 12 °C–22 °C; CDD: 18 °C–28 °C) using NASA/POWER data. The findings reveal substantial climatic and topographical influences on thermal energy demands. Northern regions, particularly high-altitude locations like Bordj Bou Arreridj, Algeria, exhibited the highest HDD values, reaching 2932 at 18 °C, while southern desert areas, such as Adrar, Algeria, demonstrated extreme CDD values, peaking at 3169 at 18 °C. GIS-based spatial interpolation methods enhanced visualization, delineating detailed sub-classifications within the Köppen-Geiger framework, increasing spatial resolution from 12321 km2 to 3025 km2. For example, Algeria alone expanded from five to 35 sub-classifications. These refined zones reveal critical differences in energy demand, with northern cities requiring up to 10 times more heating energy, while southern cities demand up to eight times more cooling energy compared to coastal zones. The results provide an essential basis for updating regional building codes and optimizing HVAC designs, supporting climate adaptation and energy efficiency strategies tailored to North Africa’s diverse climatic zones.

A principal challenge in TES systems lies in improving the heat transfer rate to ensure effective energy release during peak demand periods. Significant enhancements in melting efficiency can be achieved through the optimization of pore characteristics and rotational conditions. This study presents a numerical model of a porous structure-based rotating TES unit designed to evaluate the heat storage performance of a metal foam embedded phase change material under both static and rotating conditions. The analysis encompasses parameters such as charging time, heat storage capacity, progression of the melting front, temperature distribution, and velocity distribution, allowing for an assessment of how porosity, pore density, and rotation collectively affect the phase change process. The findings indicate that TES units with lower porosity demonstrate higher heat storage rates under both static and rotating conditions. In particular, the complete melting time of a rotating TES unit with 0.90 porosity is reduced by 88.4 % compared to a unit with 0.99 porosity. Moreover, rotation significantly influences high-porosity structure (0.99), resulting in a 28.4 % reduction in complete melting time. Additionally, high pore density metal foams, when combined with the forced convection effect brought by rotation, further optimize heat storage performance; however, the effect of pore density is comparatively less significant than that of porosity, which is attributed to the fact that compared with the combined influence of porosity on heat conduction and convection, the effect of pore density is reflected in the less influential natural convection. Ultimately, both metal foam and rotational motion enhance the charging efficiency and promote a more uniform melting process.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11641,"journal":{"name":"Energy and Buildings","volume":"341 ","pages":"Article 115839"},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2025-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143935650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
