Using UV-C sterilisation, occupant monitoring and air quality monitoring in the workplace to facilitate economic recovery post Covid-19

当英国在封城期结束后恢复工作时，我们将需要限制新冠肺炎的传播，以避免再次发生重大疫情，以妥善确保英国的经济复苏。通过这个项目，我们希望通过最大限度地减少工作场所内的接触传播来保护员工免受感染。我们的方法建立在Atamate的建筑控制系统之上。它持续监控建筑物的内部，优化服务，例如：照明/通风。我们计划通过以下方法扩展其功能，以对抗COVID-19在工作场所的传播：员工保护：感染COVID-19的人可以在他们知道自己被感染之前传播感染数天。我们计划支持现有的工作场所清洁，并限制感染的可能性。我们将使用紫外线灯，如果传感器检测到每个人都离开了房间，紫外线灯就可以对一个区域进行消毒。这可以用来消毒像电梯和厕所这样的人多的地方。建筑物可以在清洁工进入之前进行消毒，既可以加强清洁，又可以保护清洁工。定期清洁表面是防止传播的关键，因此我们计划使用蓝牙标签跟踪清洁工及其设备，使管理人员和其他居住者能够确认建筑物的每个部分都得到了清洁。Atamate空气质量监测将检测受病毒感染的气溶胶可能停留的区域，监测人群：台湾和韩国等国家通过追踪感染者的接触者，并指导他们在知道自己具有传染性之前进行自我隔离，从而最大限度地减少了封锁限制。如果要避免长期的经济影响，英国的封锁后战略将需要纳入类似的措施。我们将加强第三方提出的在工作场所使用蓝牙标签或电话进行接触追踪，提供更高水平的三角测量和准确性。如果有人被诊断出感染了新型冠状病毒（COVID-19，即2019冠状病毒病），他们接触过的任何人都可以被指示进行自我隔离，避免整栋大楼被关闭。放心：许多人会发现重返工作岗位会带来压力，因为这将涉及到几个月的社交距离一直试图避免的那种接触。能够看到雇主已经采取措施保护他们的福祉将是令人放心的。员工将能够自己查看清洁和紫外线灭菌活动的跟踪。

When Britain returns to work at the end of the lockdown period, we will need to limit transmission of Covid-19 to avoid another major outbreak to properly ensure Britain's economic recovery. With this project, we intend to protect employees from infection by minimising contact spread within the workplace.Our approach builds on Atamate's building control system. This continually monitors interiors of buildings, optimising services eg: lighting/ventilation. We plan to extend its functionality to combat the spread of Covid-19 in the workplace using the following approaches:Employee protection: someone infected with Covid-19 can transmit the infection for several days before they know they are infected. We plan to support existing workplace cleaning and limit the potential for infection. We will use ultra-violet lamps that can sterilise an area if triggered by sensors detecting that everyone has left a room. This can be used to sterilise spaces like lifts and toilets \]where many people intersect. Buildings can be sterilised before the cleaners come in, both enhancing cleaning and protecting the cleaners.Regular cleaning of surfaces is key to preventing transmission, so we plan to track cleaners and their equipment using Bluetooth tags allowing managers and other occupants to confirm that every part of the building is cleaned.Atamate monitoring of air quality will detect areas where virus-infected aerosols may linger, indicating where improved ventilation may eliminate a possible transmission hotspot.Monitoring people: Countries like Taiwan and South Korea have minimised lockdown restrictions by tracing the contacts of infected individuals and instructing them to self-isolate before they know they are infectious. The UK's post-lockdown strategy will need to incorporate similar measures if prolonged economic impact is to be avoided.We will enhance 3rd party's proposed contact tracing in the workplace using Bluetooth tags or phones providing a much greater level of triangulation and accuracy. If someone is diagnosed with Covid-19, anyone they have been in contact with can be instructed to self-isolate avoiding the entire building being closed.Reassurance: Many people will find the return to work stressful because it will involve exactly the sort of contact that months of social distancing have been intended to avoid. Being able to see that employers have taken steps to safeguard their wellbeing will be reassuring. Employees will be able to view the tracking of cleaning and activity of ultra-violet sterilisation for themselves.
