dc.description.abstract Occupational health is a cross disciplinary area concerned with protecting the health of people engaged in work or employment. If is increasingly becoming a serious concern for industries and companies to safeguard the well-being of their employees. When address the physical hazards under occupation health, provision of thermal comfort is very important, especially to avoid hyperthermia condition which could be a vital issue in tropical climates. Hlence, there should be a HVAC system like Evaporative cooling which has best performances in terms of thermal comfort as well as the occupational health. Evaporative cooling is a best alternative for providing thermal comfort environment as it is very much energy efficient and also it could control the spreading of Biological hazards such like bacteria, virus and fungi. en_US
