COVID-19 has caused public health and economic crises in many countries including the United States. Engineering control strategies are cited by leading agencies as the second effective recommendation after virus elimination to safer reopen buildings during the pandemic. This paper systematically surveyed and synthesized highly cited architectural guidelines in the U.S. published by leading agencies. As reviewed in this paper, all reviewed architectural strategies agreed on the importance of increasing outdoor air ventilation and maintaining social distancing, without specific consideration of the potential impact of these strategies on other aspects of buildings and occupants. Thus, this paper provides foundational knowledge for future studies around safer buildings during future pandemics and suggests conducting more pre/post-occupancy evaluations that incorporate human-centered studies and building performance analysis, using qualitative and quantitative methods to support various building stakeholders in making more informed decisions around recommendations to positively and holistically impact occupants and buildings.

COVID-19 在包括美国在内的许多国家引发了公共卫生和经济危机。领先机构将工程控制策略列为消除病毒后第二个有效建议，以在大流行期间更安全地重新开放建筑物。本文系统地调查和综合了美国领先机构出版的高引用建筑指南。正如本文所回顾的，所有审查过的建筑策略都同意增加室外空气通风和保持社交距离的重要性，而没有具体考虑这些策略对建筑物和居住者的其他方面的潜在影响。因此，
