| Building projects have the potential to impact social equity — either positively or negatively. |
建筑项目有可能对社会公平产生影响——无论是积极的还是消极的。 |
| Social and environmental factors are more predictive of a person's health and well-being than their genetic code. |
社会和环境因素比一个人的基因密码更能预测其健康和福祉。 |
| These factors are known as social determinants of health, which are non-medical factors that influence health outcomes. They include the conditions in the environments where people are born and live, like access to healthy foods, green spaces, and safe schools. Social determinants of health affect quality of life and a wide range of health outcomes and risks. |
这些因素被称为健康的社会决定因素，是影响健康结果的非医学因素。包括人们出生和生活环境中的条件，如健康食品、绿色空间和安全学校的可及性。健康的社会决定因素影响生活质量和广泛的健康结果与风险。 |
| Development patterns, social norms, and political systems create large disparities and inequalities in these conditions. For example, fenceline communities — groups of people who live near polluting industrial facilities or highways and are directly affected by noise and polluting emissions — are disproportionately located in low-income communities and communities with a high amount of people of color. |
发展模式、社会规范和政治体系在这些条件上造成了巨大的差距和不平等。例如，围栏社区——居住在污染工业设施或高速公路附近、直接受到噪音和污染排放影响的人群——不成比例地分布在低收入社区和有色人种比例较高的社区。 |
| Green building strategies aim to have a positive impact on social equity. This begins with understanding the potential impacts of a project. To do so, the project team must include community feedback from the earliest stage of discovery. Learning directly from community members is essential in order to address social inequities. |
绿色建筑策略旨在对社会公平产生积极影响。这始于了解项目的潜在影响。为此，项目团队必须从发现阶段最早阶段就纳入社区反馈。直接从社区成员那里获取信息对于解决社会不公至关重要。 |
| Working to support communities that have historically been underserved can help project teams bring about environmental justice, which refers to allowing all people to enjoy the same degree of protection from environmental and health hazards; have equal access to decision-making processes; and have equitable access to a healthy, sustainable, and resilient environment. |
支持历史上服务不足的社区可以帮助项目团队实现环境正义，即允许所有人享有同等程度的环境和健康危害防护；享有平等的决策参与权；享有公平获取健康、可持续和韧性环境的权利。 |
| Integrative project teams use systems thinking to identify where social determinants of health are causing health inequities and then work to address them. Examples of solutions might include: |
整合项目团队使用系统思维来识别健康的社会决定因素在何处导致健康不公，然后努力加以解决。解决方案的例子包括： |
| • Adding additional air filtration to buildings near a highway where sensitive populations will be present (e.g., schools or nursing homes) |
• 在敏感人群（如学校或养老院）附近的公路旁建筑中增加额外的空气过滤 |
| • Planting a community garden if a project is in an area with limited access to fresh, affordable food |
• 如果项目位于缺乏新鲜、实惠食品的地区，则建设社区花园 |
| • Designing an outdoor place for respite in a community that has been exposed to systemic racism |
• 在遭受系统性种族歧视的社区设计户外休憩场所 |
