1. A software architecture and system, comprising:
a plurality of sanitation protocols for sanitizing a physical space against a plurality of pathogens or pests with each sanitation protocol being adapted to treat a corresponding target pathogen or pest or target group of pathogens or pests;
a protocol storage for storing the plurality of sanitation protocols;
a plurality of protocol identifiers with each protocol identifier being selectable and comprising a link to a corresponding sanitation protocol of the plurality of sanitation protocols;
at least one of a heat source for heating the physical space, and a UV light source for irradiating the physical space with UV radiation;
a fuel cell system that locally generates electrical operating power to power the at least one heat source for heating the physical space, wherein the fuel cell system includes a liquid fuel storage tank storing a liquid fuel that is supplied to a reformer that produces hydrogen gas and a hydrogen storage storing hydrogen gas that is produced by the reformer, wherein the hydrogen gas stored in the hydrogen storage is supplied to a fuel cell; and
a controller coupled to the protocol storage and at least one of the heat source and the UV light source;
wherein the controller is configured to respond to a protocol identifier being selected to automatically control the at least one of the heat source and the UV light source according to the corresponding sanitation protocol to sanitize the physical space against the corresponding target pathogen or pest or target group of pathogens or pests.
