<br/><br/> This thesis investigates two heat storage methods to be used as a part of a greenhouse system that aims to achieve water desalination and climate control inside the greenhouse enclosure. The first method tested is the utilization of the greenhouse ground as a heat storage medium, in which two typical Egyptian soils were investigated using different pipe materials as heat transfer mediums. While the second method is an experimental study to use a phase change material which is sodium carbonate hydrated salt after stabilization with charcoal particles to prevent salt precipitation
