The aim of this paper is to maintain indoor air quality in industrial buildings as per requirement. In hot and humid climates in industries, indoor humidity levels are usually high and this is a matter of concern from thermal comfort and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) perspectives. In industrial climates, occupants seal even the smallest air gaps and eliminate outside fresh air circulating inside the buildings. So it is essential to manage dust and airflow inside the building. In whole analysis, for maintaining indoor air quality measurements like Stack monitoring (measuring the suspended particulates in stack), Ambient air monitoring (measuring the suspended particulates in atmosphere) and numerical simulation by using CFD air flow analysis, are incorporated. The effect of the air supply and flow analysis has been done in the industrial turbine room at the Vikram Cement, Neemuch (M.P.) Environmental conditions, local thermal boundary conditions and climate data are collected from the site. Investigation of natural ventilation criteria affected by various factors in the industrial building for finding the flow rate and velocity in the building for comfort of workers and staff.
