The rapid increase in global cases of COVID-19 illness and death requires the implementation of appropriate and efficient engineering controls to improve indoor air quality. This manuscript focuses on the use of the ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) air purification technology in HVAC ducts, which is particularly applicable to buildings where fully shutting down air recirculation is not feasible. Given the poor understanding of the in-duct UVGI system regarding its working mechanisms, designs, and applications, this review has the following key research objectives:
