Abstract
A method for categorizing a viral risk within a occupiable space, the method comprising the steps of: measuring environmental data using a plurality of sensors within said occupiable space; determining a virus index for the occupiable space based upon a combination of said environmental data; providing a virus index scale, said scale including environmental categories corresponding to different viral indices; comparing the virus index with the virus index scale, and so; categorizing the viral risk of the occupiable space.

A method for categorizing a viral risk within a occupiable space, the method comprising the steps of:
- measuring environmental data using a plurality of sensors within said occupiable space;
- determining a virus index for the occupiable space based upon a combination of said environmental data;
- providing a virus index scale, said scale including environmental categories corresponding to different viral indices;
- comparing the virus index with the virus index scale, and so;
- categorizing the viral risk of the occupiable space as a single number;
- and
- communicating the viral risk to stakeholders, wherein the communicating step includes a step of sending a signal to a control system, said control system then assessing operational steps required to maintain a safe viral risk condition of the space based on the viral risk, and wherein the safe viral risk condition occurs when temperature is in the range of 19° C. to 24° C., and relative humidity is in the range of 40% to 60%.
A system for categorizing a viral risk within a occupiable space, the system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors arranged to measure environmental data within said occupiable space;
- a determination unit arranged to determine a virus index for the occupiable space based upon a combination of said environmental data;
- a virus index scale, said scale including environmental categories corresponding to different viral indices;
- a comparison unit arranged to compare the virus index with the virus index scale, and further arranged to categorize the viral risk of the occupiable space as a single number;
- and
- communicating, the viral risk to a control system to maintain a safe viral risk condition, wherein the safe viral risk condition occurs when temperature is in the range of 19° C. to 24° C. and relative humidity is in the range of 40% to 60%.
