Several countermeasures against the prevalence of infectious diseases have recently been issued, and one of them, the ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) system, has been carefully considered for building environments especially. Besides experimental methods to evaluate the germicidal performance of upper air UVGI systems, this research introduces two numerical methods using the concept of ventilation performance, and illustrates the methods with a ward model. The first calculates the average residence time of air using the concept of local purging flow rate (L-PFR) which is multiplied by the average UV intensity of the upper area to obtain a UV dose. The other calculates the UV dose with the distributional UV intensity and deals with UV intensities as contaminant sources. The results of the illustrative cases with a ward model show that the method using the L-PFR concept could not clearly identify the difference in UV doses for each case with different exhaust opening setups, although the other could. The results from the method using the distributional UV intensity indicated the layout of ventilation openings and upper-room UVGI systems are important to optimize the germicidal performance.
