TL;DR: It is argued that existing evidence is sufficiently strong to warrant engineering controls targeting airborne transmission as part of an overall strategy to limit infection risk indoors, and that the use of engineering controls in public buildings would be an additional important measure globally to reduce the likelihood of transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of the most commonly held dogmas on airborne transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors suggest that the dramatic growth in our understanding of the mechanisms behind respiratory infection transmission should drive a paradigm shift in how we view and address the transmission of respiratory infections to protect present and future generations from unnecessary suffering and economic losses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mathematical Modeling of Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation for Air Disinfection
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive treatment of the mathematical basis for modeling the disinfection process for air using ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is presented, and a complete mathematical description of the survival curve is developed that incorporates both a two stage inactivation curve and a shoulder.
Journal Article
Energy Conservation Benefits of a Dedicated Outdoor Air System with Parallel Sensible Cooling by Ceiling Radiant Panels
TL;DR: In this article, a pilot DOAS/radiant panel cooling system is constructed on a university campus to investigate its advantages over alternative cooling systems in a real application, and the energy conservation potential of the pilot system relative to a conventional variable air volume (VAV) system with air-side economizer control was estimated.
