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

当英国在封锁期结束后重返工作岗位时，我们需要限制Covid-19的传播，以避免再次发生重大疫情，以适当确保英国经济复苏。在这个项目中，我们打算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。我们的方法基于Atamate的建筑控制系统。它持续监测建筑物内部，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：感染了Covid-19的人在知道自己被感染之前可以传播感染数天。我们计划支持现有工作场所的清洁，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，就可以对一个区域进行消毒。这可以用于对电梯和厕所等人流交汇的地方进行消毒。在清洁工进入之前，建筑物可以进行消毒，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人员和他们的设备，以便管理人员和其他居住者确认建筑物的每个部分都被清洁过。对空气质量的监测将检测出受病毒感染的气溶胶可能停留的区域，表明改善通风可能消除可能的传播热点。监测人员：台湾和韩国等国家通过追踪感染者的接触者，并指示他们在知道自己具有传染性之前进行自我隔离，最大限度地减少了封锁限制。如果要避免长期的经济影响，英国的封城后战略将需要纳入类似的措施。我们将使用蓝牙标签或手机增强第三方建议的工作场所接触追踪，提供更高水平的三角测量和准确性。如果有人被诊断出患有Covid-19，可以指示与他们接触过的任何人进行自我隔离，避免整个建筑物被关闭。放心：许多人会发现重返工作岗位压力很大，因为它涉及的正是数月来保持社交距离旨在避免的那种接触。能够看到雇主已经采取措施保障他们的福利，将会让人放心。员工将能够自己查看清洁和紫外线消毒活动的跟踪。

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.
