The present paper is focused on the assessment of industrial buildings from their thermal and energy performance perspective, driven by the need to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions on a worldwide level. A state of the art will be elaborated regarding the environmental impact of buildings that led to an increased pressure on a more energy efficient design. The focus will afterwards turn on the constructive solutions of industrial buildings for a better understanding of their elements and materials used. Aspects regarding the national and international stock of industrial and logistics spaces, demand, price range and future evolution of this sector, are also presented. Description and comparison is conducted on the building envelope thermal performance and its impact on the energy performance of buildings. Several conclusions will be drawn based on the obtained energy indexes and future research paths will be suggested.
