Depending on the country you already have workplace regulations that mandate minimum natural light intensity levels at your workstation.
It seems only logical that the next step is to regulate that HVAC can only apply selective UV filters on windows instead of UV wide spectrum filters.
I am not sure what would be the manufacturing challenges for this? It would likely apply only for new construction but it would be a step forward.

- hrnnnnnn 6y agoYou need fancy lenses to do UV photography. From wikipedia: "For UV photography it is necessary to use specially developed lenses having elements made from fused quartz or quartz and fluorite." Veritasium has a video using a special UV setup, it's pretty cool - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9K6gjR07Po https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9K6gjR07Po
