Research reaching practice
NParks/CUGE’s practitioner publication draws on Professor Amir’s green-roof review.
How the research was used
The article uses the review in explaining the multifunctionality of green roofs while discussing how biodiversity and solar-energy generation can share roof space. This brings the research into professional discussion of integrated biosolar design.
The documented contribution
November 2017 · Pages 42–49 · Page 43, footnote 10; reference page 48. Professional design dissemination, rather than a regulatory requirement or proof of an Professor Amir-designed roof.
