Research reaching practice
An ENEA–University of Bologna report explicitly reuses the green-roof classification table from Professor Amir’s review.
How the research was used
Table 3.2 credits Professor Amir’s paper for its comparison of extensive and intensive roofs, covering substrate, accessibility, weight, planting, irrigation, maintenance and cost. The surrounding discussion also cites the review on roof loading and retrofit suitability. This transfers a technical comparison into an agency investigation of urban stormwater solutions.
The documented contribution
December 2018 · Page 27, Table 3.2 · Reference 3, page 73. Professor Amir’s documented contribution is the classification table and supporting explanation. The report’s Bologna experiment, drainage models, control systems and measured results belong to its authors.
