Since the outbreak of COVID-19, buildings that provide improved performance have aroused extensive discussion. Nowadays, the connotation of healthy building is becoming complex, performance metrics for healthy buildings vary significantly from different regions in the world and there may be information asymmetry among stakeholders. Consequently, building health performance cannot be effectively achieved. However, previous studies have launched extensive reviews on green building, and there remains a lack of comprehensive and systematic reviews on healthy buildings. To address the above issues, therefore, this research aims to (1) conduct a thorough review of healthy building research and reveal its nature; and (2) identify the current research gaps and propose possible future research directions. Content analysis using NVivo were applied to review 238 relevant publications. A DNA framework of healthy buildings, which clarifies the characteristics, triggers, guides and actions, was then constructed for better understanding of the nature of them. Subsequently, the application of DNA framework and the directions of future research were discussed. Six future research directions were finally recommended, including life-cycle thinking, standard systems improvement, policies & regulations, awareness increase, healthy building examination, and multidisciplinary integration. This research differs from previous ones because it painted a panorama of previous healthy building research. Findings of this research contribute to reveal knowledge map of healthy buildings, guide researchers to fill existing knowledge gaps, provide a standardized platform for healthy building stakeholders, and promote high-quality development of healthy buildings.
自新冠疫情爆发以来，具有改善性能的建筑引发了广泛讨论。如今，健康建筑的内涵日益复杂，世界各地不同地区的健康建筑性能指标差异显著，利益相关者之间可能存在信息不对称。因此，建筑健康性能无法有效实现。然而，以往的研究对绿色建筑进行了广泛综述，但对健康建筑仍缺乏全面系统的综述。因此，为解决上述问题，本研究旨在：（1）对健康建筑研究进行全面综述并揭示其本质；（2）识别当前研究差距并提出未来可能的研究方向。运用NVivo进行内容分析，对238篇相关出版物进行综述。随后构建了一个健康建筑的DNA框架，该框架阐明了特征、触发因素、指导原则和行动，以便更好地理解其本质。接着讨论了DNA框架的应用及未来研究方向。最终推荐了六个未来研究方向，包括生命周期思维、标准体系完善、政策法规、意识提升、健康建筑审查和多学科整合。本研究与以往研究不同之处在于它描绘了以往健康建筑研究的全景。本研究结果有助于揭示健康建筑的知识图谱，指导研究人员填补现有知识空白，为健康建筑利益相关者提供一个标准化平台，并促进健康建筑的高质量发展。
