This project examined evidence linking green building design strategies with the potential to enhance community resilience to extreme heat events. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method for a systematic review, it assessed the strength of the evidence supporting the potential for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) credit requirements to reduce the adverse effects of extreme heat events and/or enhance a building's passive survivability (i.e., the ability to continue to function during utility outages) during those events. The PRISMA Flow Diagram resulted in the selection of 12 LEED for New Construction (LEED NC) credits for inclusion in the review. Following a preliminary scan of evidence supporting public health co-benefits of the LEED for Neighborhood Development rating system, queries were submitted in PubMed using National Library of Medicine Medical Subject Headings Terms. Queries identified links between LEED credit requirements and risk of exposure to extreme heat, environmental determinants of health, co-benefits to public health outcomes, and co-benefits to built environment outcomes. Public health co-benefits included reducing the risk of vulnerability to heat stress and reducing heat-related morbidity and mortality. The results lay the groundwork for collaboration across the public health, civil society, climate change, and green building sectors.
本项目研究了将绿色建筑设计策略与增强社区应对极端高温事件的韧性联系起来的证据。该研究采用系统评价的首选报告项目和荟萃分析（PRISMA）方法，评估了支持能源与环境设计领导力（LEED®）认证要求减少极端高温事件的不利影响和/或增强建筑物在这些事件中被动生存能力（即，在公用事业中断期间继续运行的能力）的证据强度。PRISMA 流程图导致选择了 12 个新建筑 LEED（LEED NC）认证纳入审查。在初步扫描支持 LEED 社区发展评级系统的公共卫生共同效益的证据后，使用国家医学图书馆医学主题词在 PubMed 中提交了查询。查询确定了 LEED 认证要求与暴露于极端高温的风险、健康的环境决定因素、对公共卫生结果的共同效益以及对建筑环境结果的共同效益之间的联系。公共卫生共同效益包括降低热应激脆弱性风险和减少与热相关的发病率和死亡率。这些结果为公共卫生、公民社会、气候变化和绿色建筑部门之间的合作奠定了基础。
