This paper submits the on-sight research made with a thermal camera for investigating the practices of heating technologies in industrial premises. The experiments are made during the winter season of 2019/2020 and give a preliminary overview of the heating methods, their positive and negative effect, and their contribution to energy consumption and efficiency. Models for worker’s practices and space zoning are observed to optimize heat distribution. Based on the experimental work a series of findings are made and described for future recommendations in heating systems design for industrial buildings.
