Computer programs INFILS and ACFES2/R have been developed for the analysis of industrial buildings' heating loads and energy consumption relating to air infiltration. The heat demand computation results for typical hall structures are presented. It is shown that on windy days with low outside temperatures, total heat losses rose to 180% of basic heat losses. The necessity of developing proper methods for designing, building and testing elements of industrial buildings is emphasized.
