To provide a hydrogen gas production facility capable of effectively utilizing heat generated during operation in preventing freezing according to a need therefor, and a hydrogen gas production method capable of producing hydrogen gas by operating the hydrogen gas production facility in a good environment.SOLUTION: The hydrogen gas production facility comprises a water electrolysis device and a wall that partitions a storage space storing the water electrolysis device from the outside space. The wall includes a first ventilation port and a second ventilation port each carrying out ventilation to release heat in the storage space to the outside space, with a first ventilation mode of releasing heat from the first ventilation port disposed close to heat generating equipment and a second ventilation mode of releasing heat from the second ventilation port disposed far from the heat generation equipment made switchable to each other.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】運転時に発生する熱を必要に応じて凍結防止に有効活用したりすることが可能な水素ガス製造設備を提供し、良好な環境で水素ガス製造設備を運転して水素ガスを製造することができる水素ガス製造方法を提供する。【解決手段】水電解装置部と、該水電解装置部を収容する収容空間を外部空間と区分する壁部とを有し、該壁部には換気を行って収容空間の熱が外部空間に排出される換気口として第１換気口と第２換気口とが含まれており、発熱機器からの距離が近い第１換気口から熱の排出が行われる第１の換気モードと、距離が遠い第２換気口から熱の排出が行われる第２の換気モードとが切り替え可能である水素ガス製造設備を用いる。【選択図】 図２
