The Material and Sterilization Center (CME) is a hospital sector for cleaning and disinfection, assembly, sterilization and distribution of medical-hospital materials, which will be distributed and used in all sectors of the hospital. The CME has different sectors that require the processing of materials in an environment that requires environmental control in temperature and humidity, so that the process takes place effectively and guarantees the health of the worker. Objective: To evaluate the temperatures in the assembly area in accordance with ANVISA's requirement. Methodology: This is an exploratory and quantitative study, analyzing the temperature values using the annual temperature and relative air humidity amplitude assessment methodology using the concept of Thom's theory (1969). Result: The temperatures and relative humidity of the air from January 2017 to January 2019, inside the processing units, are not within the standard values required for thermal comfort. Conclusion: It is concluded that the implementation of air conditioning installed in February 2019 had an impact on the values of temperature and relative humidity of the air, promoting that values were within the standards required by ANVISA. Keywords: Sterilization, Temperature, Heat.
