1. Functionality: The building must be designed with the functionality of the specific industry in mind. For example, a factory will require a different layout and interior design than a warehouse.
2. Flexibility: The building must be flexible enough to adapt to changing production needs and processes.
3. Safety: Safety is a crucial design consideration for any industrial building. The design must minimize the risk of accidents and injuries.
4. Energy efficiency: Energy efficiency can bring significant cost savings in the long run. The building must be designed to optimize the use of energy and minimize waste.
5. Maintenance: The building must be designed for ease of maintenance, which can reduce downtime and repair costs.
6. Adequate Lighting: Proper lighting is critical in any industrial building, especially in areas where work is being performed with equipment, tools or machinery which requires a lot of precision.
7. Height requirements: Industrial buildings like factories and warehouses have specific height requirements, which need to be taken into account for the storage of inventory, equipment installation and efficient production layouts.
8. Ventilation: Proper ventilation in industrial buildings is crucial for maintaining good air quality and worker safety.
9. Noise Reduction: Heavy machinery and equipment can often generate a lot of noise, so it’s essential to design the building with noise reduction measures implemented.
10. Accessibility: The building must be designed in a way that it is easily accessible to workers, and large enough to accommodate different types of cargo handling equipment's like forklifts, cranes etc.
