  It has previously been shown that it is more general to describe the
evolution of the universe based on the emergence of the space and the energy
balance relation. Here we investigate the thermodynamic properties of the
universe described by such a model. We show that the first law of
thermodynamics and the generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) are both
satisfied and the weak energy condition are also fulfilled for two typical
examples. Finally we examine the physical consistency for the present model.
