绿色建筑设计正在被广泛采用，一项绿色建筑标准报告称，迄今为止已认证面积超过 35 亿平方英尺。根据定义，绿色建筑致力于通过减少能源使用、水的使用以及最大限度地减少建筑工地的环境干扰来最大限度地减少对环境的影响。同样根据定义，但可能不太被广泛认可的绿色建筑旨在通过健康的室内环境设计来改善人类健康。与减少能源和水消耗相关的好处已得到充分证明，但绿色建筑对人类健康的潜在好处直到最近才得到研究。我们审查的目的是检查绿色建筑设计的证据状况，因为它与室内环境质量和人类健康特别相关。总体而言，初步科学证据表明，与非绿色建筑相比，绿色建筑的室内环境质量更好，对这些建筑居住者的人类健康有直接好处。迄今为止，许多研究的局限性在于依赖间接、滞后和主观的健康指标。为了解决这个问题，我们提出了一个框架，用于确定直接、客观和领先的“健康绩效指标”，用于未来的建筑和健康研究。
Green building design is becoming broadly adopted, with one green building standard reporting over 3.5 billion square feet certified to date. By definition, green buildings focus on minimizing impacts to the environment through reductions in energy usage, water usage, and minimizing environmental disturbances from the building site. Also by definition, but perhaps less widely recognized, green buildings aim to improve human health through design of healthy indoor environments. The benefits related to reduced energy and water consumption are well-documented, but the potential human health benefits of green buildings are only recently being investigated. The objective of our review was to examine the state of evidence on green building design as it specifically relates to indoor environmental quality and human health. Overall, the initial scientific evidence indicates better indoor environmental quality in green buildings versus non-green buildings, with direct benefits to human health for occupants of those buildings. A limitation of much of the research to date is the reliance on indirect, lagging and subjective measures of health. To address this, we propose a framework for identifying direct, objective and leading “Health Performance Indicators” for use in future studies of buildings and health.
