Popis:	This paper presents an investigation hold on a Bank Agency Compensation Department about the correlation between productivity and thermal dissatisfaction indicators, through the use of Pearson's coefficient (r). The criteria for measuring thermal comfort conditions were based on PMV indexes (Predicted Mean Vote), and PPD (Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied), according ISO 7730/1994 norm. Productivity was measured through the use of a computer program developed for running in a UNIX platform. The results show a meaningful correlation between thermal dissatisfaction and productivity, when the central air conditioning system was working satisfactorily.
