Abstract
A system and method of sanitizing one or more structures within an enclosed space includes operatively coupling an ozone ventilation control unit to an ultraviolet (UV) light assembly, an ozone sensor, and an exhaust fan, using the ozone ventilation control unit to operate the UV light assembly to emit UV light into or onto structure(s) of the enclosed space during a cleaning cycle, receiving, by the ozone ventilation control unit, an ozone presence signal indicative of an amount of ozone within the enclosed space from an ozone sensor that detects the amount of ozone within the enclosed space, using the ozone ventilation control unit to selectively activate and deactivate the exhaust fan based on the amount of ozone within the enclosed space, and using the ozone ventilation control unit to selectively activate and deactivate the UV light assembly based on the amount of ozone within the enclosed space.
