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. |
