In recent decades, there has been an increasing trend towards global warming of the planet. Numerous studies are aimed at assessing the impact of climate change on the construction industry and on the infrastructure sector as a whole. At the same time, not many works are aimed at studying the impact of climate change on the building's energy demand for heating. The purpose of the work was to study the changes in the main parameters of the heating season of the Belgorod region, necessary for calculating the thermal protection of buildings. The minimum, average and maximum annual temperatures are analyzed, the dates of the beginning and end of heating periods, the duration of heating periods, the minimum temperatures of heating periods, the temperatures of the coldest five-day heating periods, the average temperatures of heating periods, the degree-day heating periods from 1936 to 2023 are analyzed. A forecast assessment of the above parameters was also performed with a forecast up to 2050, taking into account the appearance of a trend of increasing average annual temperatures since the 1980s. The trends towards an increase in the minimum temperatures of the heating seasons, an increase in the temperatures of the coldest five days, an increase in the average temperatures of the heating periods and a decrease in the degree-day of the heating periods are revealed. The conclusion is made about the correlation of global warming and climate warming in the Belgorod region. It has been revealed that warming in the Belgorod region is proceeding faster than estimated in a number of studies at the beginning of the XXI century, but the values of changes in the main parameters correlate well with a number of more modern studies considered in the work. Recommendations are given for the design of heating systems, taking into account the tendency to increase the degree-day of heating periods
