Research supporting construction clients
The Chartered Institute of Building’s 2025 Construction Client Guide cites Professor Amir’s co-authored 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 cites “A critical comparison of green building rating systems,” by Dat Tien Doan, Ali Ghaffarianhoseini, Nicola Naismith, Tongrui Zhang, Amir and John Tookey. This brings the team’s comparative research into a professional resource for clients leading built-environment projects.
