Both thermal comfort and air quality can have important impacts on productivity. The privative effect of insignificant indoor climate conditions on the efficiency of the occupant is described in several earlier investigations. Acceptable indoor environmental conditions for occupants should be gained as the significant portion of the Gross National Product is earned by people working in the office buildings. It is of common knowledge that the ventilation and thermal comfort matters are consequential in eachtype of building, but in hot and humid climate where reducing cooling energy consumption is mandatory, they became even more considerable. A few works have considered the ventilation parameters, air quality and thermal comfort together. Therefore, the objective of this work was to review the development of the ventilation parameters and thermal comfort with an emphasis on the combined thermal comfort-ventilation parameters,particularly the impact of ventilation parameters on thermal comfort, which have been confirmed in the hot-humid climate of Malaysia and the surrounding regions. Thus, it was essential to review thermal comfort and ventilation parameters in hot and humid climate and to identify the research needs in these areas. Besides, in order to develop thermal comfort and ventilation standards in these regions, future outlook and directions were provided.
