Apprehending Air Conditioning Systems in Context to COVID-19 and Human Health: A Brief Communication

Abstract: Nowadays human race which is strongest of all creatures on the planet is frightened to move out without precautions because of coronavirus. In the current article, a brief overview of the use of air-conditioners available in different designs is addressed in context to COVID-19. Since this virus is often transmitted by exhalations from infected airways, so Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems may be important to enhance or mitigate the spread of the infection in indoor dwellings. The design… Show more

“…The structure of COVID-19 virus is positive single strand RNA which shares genetically characteristics with SARS and Bat SARS corona viruses [2]. Every virus has a size of between 50 nm to 200 nm and comprises of some basic proteins like Spike, Envelop, Membrane and nucleocapsid which are represented by Alphabetical letters S, E, M and N respectively [3,4]. The virus envelop is created by utilizing the S, E and M proteins while as, N protein is responsible for holding the RNA genome of the virus [3].…”

“…The COVID-19 virus has a high incidence rate that falls between 1.5 and 3.5, making it very contagious. 9,10 As a result, it's critical to get a diagnosis promptly in order to curb the virus's propagation. This has proven to be exceedingly difficult, though, as the virus can remain dormant among people for over 5 days until symptoms appear.…”

“…2 Many electronic types of equipment are proving to be helpful in this direction, for example, air conditioners are used in buildings. [3][4][5] Many smart gadgets are being developed for buildings that can detect people who are infected with covid-19 and thus reduce the spread by providing them and others with the indication. 6 A doorbell allows visitors to announce their presence and request entry into a building, as well as allowing the occupant to verify the identity of the visitors in order to help prevent COVID-19 invasion at any time.…”
