Research reaching practice
The European Commission’s SRI technical-support report cites Professor Amir’s intelligent-building review when examining the scope of smart readiness.
How the research was used
Its scope discussion uses Professor Amir’s paper to support the observation that intelligent and smart buildings have competing definitions. This is a specific conceptual contribution within technical work commissioned to inform development of the European Smart Readiness Indicator.
The documented contribution
2020 · Section 1.2.2, printed page 64 · Footnote 73 · Report DOI 10.2833/41100. The documented use concerns definitions in technical preparation. It does not establish that Professor Amir authored the adopted SRI calculation, its criteria or implementing rules.
