Abstract: A system and method include a duct including an internal air passage. One or more ultraviolet (UV) light emitters are coupled to the duct. The UV light emitter(s) are configured to emit UV light into air that passes through the internal air passage. An air inlet is coupled to the duct. The air inlet is in fluid communication with the internal air passage. An air outlet is coupled to the duct. The air outlet is in fluid communication with the internal air passage. A blower is disposed within the duct. The blower is configured to draw the air into the internal air passage through the air inlet, and discharge the air from the internal air passage through the air outlet. The air is disinfected within the internal air passage by the UV light emitted by the one or more UV lights. A sensor is coupled to one or more of the duct, the air inlet, or the air outlet. The sensor is configured to output signals. A control unit is in communication with the UV light emitter(s), the blower, and the sensor. The control unit is configured to receive the signals from the sensor and control one or both of the UV light emitter(s) or the blower based on the signals.

Abstract: A sanitization system for a space includes an ultraviolet (UV) light source configured to emit UV light. The system includes a sensor device configured to sense positions of a plurality of individuals within the space. The system includes a controller in communication with the sensor device. The controller is configured to monitor the positions of the plurality of individuals, determine, based on the positions of the plurality of individuals, that two or more individuals are less than a threshold distance from each other, and in response to determining that the two or more individuals are less than a threshold distance from each other, control the UV light source to emit UV light towards a proximate region between the two or more individuals.
