Abstract
A sanitization system for a space includes an ultraviolet (UV) light source configured to emit UV light towards a UV light zone at a UV light level, a motion sensor device configured to sense movements of one or more individuals, and a controller. The controller is configured to determine, based on the movements of the one or more individuals, an exposure parameter value for each of the one or more individuals in the UV light zone, determine that the value of the exposure parameter determined for at least one of the one or more individuals exceeds a threshold value, and, responsive to determining that the value of the exposure parameter determined for the at least one of the one or more individuals exceeds the threshold value, cause the UV light source to reduce the UV light level of the UV light emitted towards the UV light zone.
