Those involved in the heating industry of large-scale facilities have different expectations of them. It is expected that heating systems will be characterized, among other things, by rational investment and operating costs, enable maintenance of internal conditions suitable for workers or related to the technological process. Identification of selected factors influencing the selection of infrared gas heaters for heating the industrial hall is the purpose of the article. The identified factors form a base of criteria for their evaluation using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) multi-criteria method. Using an industrial building as an example, a hierarchical model is presented to determine which variant meets the requirements to the highest degree and which decision can be considered optimal. The presented algorithm allows a thorough analysis and evaluation of the factors affecting the selection of infrared gas radiant heaters as a heating solution for industrial halls. In the case of the analyzed hall, the solution with ceramic heaters and standard radiation efficiency proved to be the solution with the highest decision-making index.
Key words: MCDA, luminous local space heater, tube local space heater, radiation efficiency of the heater
