30年的公共卫生研究表明，室内环境质量的改善与更好的健康结果有关。最近的研究已经证明了室内环境对认知功能的影响。我们从美国五个城市的10座高性能建筑（即超过ASHRAE标准62.1-2010通风要求且总挥发性有机化合物浓度较低的建筑）中招募了109名参与者。在每个城市，建筑物按评估周、租户、工人类型和工作功能进行匹配。匹配建筑之间的一个关键区别是它们是否获得了绿色认证。在同一周内，对工人进行两次高阶决策绩效认知功能测试，同时监测室内环境质量参数。在控制年收入、工作类别和受教育程度的情况下，绿色认证建筑中的工人在认知功能测试中得分高出26.4% (95% CI:[12.8%, 39.7%])，并且患病的建筑症状比未认证建筑中的工人少30%。这些结果可能部分地由包括热条件和照明在内的环境质量因素解释，但研究结果表明，绿色认证标准的好处超出了可测量的环境质量因素。我们描述了一种整体的“建筑组学”方法，用于检查建筑物中影响人类健康的因素的复杂性。
Thirty years of public health research have demonstrated that improved indoor environmental quality is associated with better health outcomes. Recent research has demonstrated an impact of the indoor environment on cognitive function. We recruited 109 participants from 10 high-performing buildings (i.e. buildings surpassing the ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2010 ventilation requirement and with low total volatile organic compound concentrations) in five U.S. cities. In each city, buildings were matched by week of assessment, tenant, type of worker and work functions. A key distinction between the matched buildings was whether they had achieved green certification. Workers were administered a cognitive function test of higher order decision-making performance twice during the same week while indoor environmental quality parameters were monitored. Workers in green certified buildings scored 26.4% (95% CI: [12.8%, 39.7%]) higher on cognitive function tests, controlling for annual earnings, job category and level of schooling, and had 30% fewer sick building symptoms than those in non-certified buildings. These outcomes may be partially explained by IEQ factors, including thermal conditions and lighting, but the findings suggest that the benefits of green certification standards go beyond measureable IEQ factors. We describe a holistic “buildingomics” approach for examining the complexity of factors in a building that influence human health.
