The story

Research reaching practice

An Egypt-focused assessment of heritage and contemporary buildings adapts the strategy matrix from Professor Amir’s sick-building-syndrome review.

How the research was used

The authors use the matrix to compare the effectiveness and complexity of strategies for reducing sick-building-syndrome triggers. Figure 9 explicitly credits the review, making the transfer of an analytical framework into a healthier, more resilient isolation-environment assessment directly traceable.

The documented contribution
