چکیده	In general, there is a wide range of literature covering the area of thermal comfort, but not a focused literature review of thermal comfort in hospitals has published yet. However, there has been no study on the direct effect of thermal comfort on health. The authors have found a reasonable amount of literature in thermal comfort in hospitals. This paper presents a literature review on thermal comfort in hospitals. From the review, the paper concludes that it is important to undertake original studies in the relationship between thermal comfort conditions and productivity for hospital staff. The study finally concluded that it is important to find some solutions to reconcile the different thermal comfort conditions required by different occupants in hospitals. These solutions could be used whenever patients and the attending caregivers have to stay in one room for a long time compulsorily.
