     upper room (ur)-ultraviolet germicidal (uvgi) systems, one of several disinfection applications of uv, target airborne infectious diseases in rooms of buildings such as healthcare facilities. previous studies have introduced many experiments showing the germicidal effect of ur-uvgi systems. in this study, a novel numerical method of estimating the germicidal effect of ur-uvgi systems for air exhaled by ward patients was introduced. the method adopts and modifies the concept of ventilation efficiency because the germicidal effect depends upon how the air containing airborne infectious particles flows and stays within uv-radiated area. a case study based on a four-patient ward showed that uv doses were correlated with the age of the air exhaled by a source patient, as expected. moreover, the uv doses were considerably affected by the position of the ur-uvgi system. inactivation rates of the influenza virus estimated using the uv doses, were in the range of 48–74%, and those of mycobacterium tuberculosis were 68–90% in the breathing area of a neighboring patient. the results indicate not directly the decreased concentration of airborne infectious particles, but the possibility of inactivation caused by the ur-uvgi system, which is useful for system optimization.
