Brighten Buildings Naturally to Boost Immunity and Fight Covid19 Using Optimized MEMS-Based Daylighting Systems

ABSTRACT

Everyone knows that a strong immune system is one of the keys to fighting Covid19. Washing our hands regularly, practicing social distancing and eating nutritious foods are also important behaviors that help us to prevent the infection. However, during the Covid19 period, sitting down for long periods of time without exposing to sun makes us more susceptible to illness and disease. Furthermore, most of people suffer from stress and thus tend to have weakened immune cells that lack the ability to effectively fight viruses. So, they become more prone to viral infections. In this paper, we propose a solution to brighten buildings, hospitals and schools using optimized MEMS-based daylighting systems in order to repair and strengthen the immunity against viruses like Covid19 and thus saving lives.
