The AIM Report Case Studies

The titles of all case studies included in the current version of AIM are listed below. Within AIM, packages of measures are automatically assigned case studies based on the quality of the case study content and on the similarity of the buildings and implemented measures to those of the user's own building and their selected package. In the below list, the case studies are presented in alphabetical order of title. Outside of AIM, additional details on each case study are available to I2SL members via the Member Portal.
