Government Applications
Visium™ provides safe, automated cleaning for Government buildings and transportation.
Visium Technology
UVC Sanitization.
Reduction in manpower due to absenteeism in mission critical entities can have a negative impact across the board. Yet, shrinking budgets may not necessarily allow a dramatic increase in sanitization to maintain a healthy work environment. From the military to public transportation to hospitals, Lit Thinking’s Far-UVC sanitization technology is a perfect solution to provide a continuous cleaning in an occupied area.
Visium stands as the groundbreaking outcome of the Navy’s inaugural Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA), marking a significant milestone in pioneering research and development supported by leading scientists at Columbia University and other esteemed research institutions.

Peace of Mind
Unhealthy indoor air environments impact everyone. Investing in indoor health is investing in our students, our employees, and our communities. Government, educational institutions, healthcare, businesses, and building owners now recognize the critical importance of indoor air quality. While upgrades to the HVAC systems may help, additional measures, such as adding Far-UVC solutions, may be required to improve our indoor air environment.
Lit Thinking’s utilization of human-safe Far-UVC is the perfect investment. Research shows dramatic improvements in the sanitization of spaces with insufficient ventilation and high traffic areas when Far-UVC is deployed.

5 ACH
Modern Cleaning Methods Without Far-UVC
Effective use of air changes removes particles from the air and replaces it with clean air so that only a fraction remains after an hour. For example, if a person sneezes in a room that uses 5 ACH before leaving and shutting the door behind them, in 5 minutes 66% of their sneeze will remain; in 30 minutes 8.2% of their sneeze will remain; in an hour 0.66% of their sneeze will remain.
In areas of insufficient ventilation, not enough air is changed to effectively remove airborne contaminants and pathogens. Additionally, in high traffic areas, infectious particles are constantly being introduced into the air. In these instances, adding filtration, or UV lights increases air cleaning rates. Because these methods do not necessarily change the flow of air into the room, the cleaning efficiency of these methods are often quantified using equivalent air changes per hour (eACH).
The addition of Lit Thinking’s Far-UVC sanitization solution can provide over 184 eACH, sanitizing even the most populated rooms or least ventilated rooms.
The addition of a Far-UVC sanitization solution can provide up to 184 eACH in a full-size room.

The Importance of
Air Changes
Air changes per hour (or ACH) is how many times the volume of air in a room is replaced through ventilation per hour. This is a common way to determine how healthy a room is or how clean the air is within an enclosed space. Homes typically have 1-2 ACH, commercial offices 2-3 ACH, schools 5-6 ACH, and hospitals requiring 6-20 ACH.
American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recently updated the Standard 62.1 (Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality) in 2022, which focuses on ventilation rates in terms of cubic feet per minute (CFM) per person rather than Air Changes per Hour (ACH).
Both the CDC and EPA support these enhanced recommendations from ASHRAE, recognizing the necessity for improved ventilation strategies to foster safer and healthier indoor environments, surpassing what was previously deemed as merely acceptable.
A New Way to Clean
Clean Air at Light Speed
Visium uses 222nm Far-UVC technology to sanitize your buildings continuously while the Lit Thinking app provides you with real-time updates on the sanitization and IAQ status of individual rooms where Visium technology is deployed.
