Abstract

Student absenteeism and the comparisons of two sampling procedures for culturable bioaerosol measurement in classrooms with and without upper room ultraviolet germicidal irradiation devices" (2016). Architectural Engineering --Faculty Publications. 91.

Improving indoor air quality, health and performance within environments where people live, travel, learn and work

“…(Table 4). Su et al 166 evaluated the performance of upper room ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) to reduce bioaerosol concentrations and student absenteeism.…”

Airflow deflectors of external windowsto induce ventilation: Towards COVID-19 prevention and control

“… Wu & Niu, 2016 ), ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) (Z. Feng, Cao, & Haghighat, 2021 ; Su, Lau, & Gibbs, 2016 ), etc.…”

HVAC systems for environmental control to minimize the COVID-19 infection

“…20 The primary problem to control indoor biological pollution through ventilation system is to seek an approach to quickly eliminate and destroy the indoor biological contaminant under a certain combination of ventilation rate, air flow pattern 21 and maybe ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) from the perspective of ventilation design. 22,23 A review on the control of ventilation systems in enclosed, and highly occupied spaces, such as healthcare facilities and public transports, are needed.…”

“…25 Several measures have been taken to minimize airborne bacteria and viruses, such as application of high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters and UVGI lamps. 22,23 WHO suggests further reinforcement of precaution protocols for aerosol-generating procedures on all suspect and confirmed COVID-19 patients. 26 The hospital should be properly ventilated to minimize airborne bacteria and viruses.…”
