This day- to-day interaction of humans and their environment afects performance and productivity of workers in various industries. Indoor temperature is one of the fundamental characteristics of the indoor environment. The objective of the study was to investigate the efect of temperature in the turbine room and equipment on the workers performance. This paper presented a systematic review of the literature that relate to thermal comfort of the turbine room in the power stations. The results of this paper identifed the factors that afect the performance of workers through the proposed conceptual framework that has dependent and independent variables and a moderator namely temperature in the turbine room. KEYWORDS: SPSS, Environmental, Turbine, Thermal Comfort, Performance. Many developing countries and companies begin to think about sustainable solutions to face problems in the power stations using appropriate techniques to raise the efficiency of the production of electrical power, including problems of high air temperature inside the turbine rooms (thermal comfort) [1]. Hensen defines the thermal comfort as a state in which there is no driving impulses to correct the environment by behavior [2]. The (ASHRAE) American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air- Conditioning. Engineers define the concept of the thermal comfort as a satisfaction of body and mind for employees [3]. 1.0 INTR ODU CTION
