Abstract

An innovative building design technology is being modelled to kill all pathogens including COVID-19 inside the building naturally before it attacks the human body. In this study, a solar irradiance has been applied through an exterior glazing wall of the building to create ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI), which is derived from sunlight, to destroy all pathogens inside the buildings before they attack human bodies. Research shows that all pathogens, including COVID-19, can be destroyed by UVGI's short-range wavelengths of 254-280 nanometers by rupturing their nucleic acid bonds, forcing them to malfunction their biochemical operations and ultimately causing the pathogen to die which indeed be an innovative field of science to eliminate pathogen naturally before it penetrates to the human body.
