Introduction: The quality of architectural design depends on a variey of factors that give it shape and meaning. The built environment, incluindo the hospital, requires aesthetic, ergonomic, acoustic, visual, termal, psychological and air quality standards. In addition, the impacto n the quality of care for the well-being of the professional, as well as impatients and outpatients, must be evidenced.Objective: To investigate the diferences obtained in surveys in tropical countries with the parameters expected by ASHARE and ISSO 7730. Methodology: This work is a multicenter study carried out between the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB) and the University Center of João Pessoa (UNIPE), based on na interdisciplinar and multiprofessional approach between medicine and architecture through a review systematic, qualitative, descriptive, carried out between january 2017 and january 2020, through the PubMED/MEDLINE, Crossref, Scopus, CAPES, Web of Science and Science Direct databases, including a total of ten works.. Results and Discussion: It is noticed that there is a significant difference in all studies that sought to differentiate the neutral temperature using TSV and PMV. The variation being greater than 1°C and reaching up to 3,1°C difference. Furthermore, the thermal comfort standards established by the ASHRAE-55 PMV standard do not represent hospital environments in countries with a tropical or subtropical climate Conclusion: Thus, it is understood that local research should be carried out in order to adapt the temperature standards to the populations that livre there.
