Buildings of the future should be designed to support human health, both by promoting the presence of beneficial microbes and by reducing exposure to harmful ones. However, we still do not have a robust definition of what constitutes a "healthy" indoor microbiome. Such a definition would allow us to better understand implications of building design and behavioral decisions of residents, especially for vulnerable populations such as asthmatic children. Relevant assessment methods could then be developed to make microbiome information available to home occupants, environmental health professionals, policy writers, building designers, and building remediation specialists.
未来的建筑设计应旨在促进有益微生物的留存并减少有害微生物的接触，以此来支持人类健康。然而，对于什么构成“健康的”室内微生物群落，我们仍没有一个完善的定义。这样一个定义将使我们能够更好地理解建筑设计和居民行为决策的影响，尤其是对哮喘儿童等弱势群体而言。届时，便可开发相关评估方法，以便让房屋居住者、环境卫生专业人员、政策制定者、建筑设计师和建筑修复专家获取微生物群落信息。
