  1. Oct 4, 2024Thus, any upper-room GUV systems designed with sufficient radiance to inactivate TB will also be effective against seasonal flu, SARS-COV-2, and many other respiratory viruses if it is properly maintained. 1. UV-C energy can damage plants placed in the disinfection zone (for example, on the top of tall bookcases or high shelves).
    • Upper-Room Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) | CDC

      UVGI and SARS-CoV-2. To date, UV research on SARS-CoV-2 indicates that the virus that causes COVID-19 is very similar to other coronaviruses (for example, SARS and MERS) regarding the UV dose necessary to inactivate it. 1,2 Upper-room UVGI systems can be used to control SARS-CoV-2 as a useful ventilation tool to consider in reducing the spread of infectious pathogens.

  3. Dec 1, 2023"Upper-room germicidal UV in particular, uses the upper quarter of the room as a large disinfection chamber and virtually instantaneously disinfects that air. And then as the air from the lower room is moved by convection currents and movement and all kinds of other things that happen in rooms, it moves to the upper room and likewise gets ...
  4. Dec 5, 2024A professionally designed system of ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) that is well installed and maintained can effectively kill the virus that causes COVID-19 and help protect people from the disease indoors. Typically, UVGI systems are installed near a room ceiling (upper-room UVGI) or inside the HVAC system of a building.

  6. Upper Room Germicidal UV (UR GUV) UR GUV systems (that are properly designed, installed operated and maintained) have been shown to inactivate airborne microbes at a rate that is equivalent to 10-24 ACH of exhaust ventilation. These highly effective systems are relatively easy to install and require little if any change to existing systems.

  8. Upper-room ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is a long-standing, highly effective technology for removing infectious agents from indoor air, especially when ventilation is limited. For nearly 100 years, upper-room UVGI has been in use in settings such as hospital waiting rooms, infectious disease wards and operating theaters for ...

    Jan 9, 2025According to Daniel Jones, president of UV Resources, a manufacturer of germicidal UV solutions, upper-room air systems are one of the oldest applications of germicidal UV for infection control. They have been used for more than 70 years to eliminate airborne pathogens, according to the CDC. "In seconds, these fixtures inactivate droplet ...
