Abstract
AbstractThis paper discusses developing a smart and sustainable full-spectrum LED lighting technology that could prevent and may treat COVID-19 infections and enhance the global society’s resilience and quality of life (QoL). This research aims to develop a full-spectrum lighting system using light-emitting diode (LED) technology to provide the daylight effect for people in buildings, to improve Vitamin D during the day which should prevent and may treat COVID-19 infections, for society’s resilience and quality of life. The first author is undertaking the proposed work as part of his Ph.D. at Cardiff Metropolitan University, UK, based in Canada. There is currently (2021) no such lighting method available to treat or prevent COVID-19 infections. This novel method is not replicated but is original and could be considered an innovative method which may prevent and may treat COVID-19 infections. This paper will be helpful for academics, researchers, scientists, medical doctors, engineers, consultants, architects, lighting designers, contractors, developers, financial institutions, and government agencies funding to upgrades the lighting system.KeywordsBuilt environmentCanadaResilienceLED full-spectrum light sourceTechnologyEnvironmentCOVID-19 prevention and treatmentVitamin DHealthWell-beingQuality of life
