Location quotient, a volume reading rather than an impact one. It surfaces small, lopsided specialities.

Field profile

Location quotient across every field it publishes in: outside the ring is more than an institution of this size would be expected to publish, inside it is less.

    Which keywords describe research at Amt für Hochbauten?

    By fractional works in all years, weighted toward what it does more of than the world: Heat Transfer, Material Properties, Structural Health Monitoring, Civil Engineering, Construction, Thermal Conductivity, Renewable Energy and Experimental Investigation.
