a sitting area;
a first heating element configured to generate infrared (IR) emissions towards the sitting area;
a first emissive element configured to generate narrowband ultraviolet (UV) emissions towards the sitting area;
a sensor configured to detect when sufficient narrowband UV emissions have been generated;
one or more controllers including one or more processors, the one or more controllers configured to control operation of the first heating element and the first emissive element;
memory communicatively coupled to the one or more processors and configured to store control data associated with controlling operation of the first heating element and the first emissive element.
