Research reaching practice
A design report prepared for Queen’s University’s campus facilities team uses Professor Amir’s green-roof review to explain thermal parameters and the relationship between existing roof insulation and green-roof performance. The report proposes a campus implementation and maintenance resource.
The documented contribution
26 March 2021 · Section 4.4.1, printed page 44; reference page 57. This is a client-facing final-year student project. The report requires professional review before construction use; final adoption into campus requirements has not been established.
