Streszczenie: 
The aim of this thesis is to formulate short-term heat demand forecasting model based on fractal theory that predicts the value of heat demand for all receivers connected to district heating system depending on weather forecast and calendar information. The paper contains descriptions of basic fractal theory concepts, techniques, analysis of self-similarity of heat demand data, and developed methodology of constructing fractal interpolation curve. Forecast accuracy was investigated for planning heat production in 24-hour horizon.
