Research supporting construction clients
The Chartered Institute of Building’s 2025 Construction Client Guide refers to Professor Amir’s research in its practical guidance on sustainability certification and environmental performance. The guide explains how certification can provide benchmarks and a framework for assessing and improving projects.
A shared review reaching professional practice
The guide’s sustainability section refers to “A critical comparison of green building rating systems,” by Dat Tien Doan, Ali Ghaffarianhoseini, Nicola Naismith, Tongrui Zhang, Professor Amir and John Tookey. This brings Professor Amir’s comparative research into a professional resource for clients leading built-environment projects.
