Research cluster

Interdisciplinarity

The FM research cluster brings transparency to the research performance of various institutes at TU Wien in the field of facility management. Since FM is an interdisciplinary approach that combines technology, economics, ecology and law, this is reflected in the representatives of TU Wien in the cluster: scientists from different departments have agreed to work in the research cluster.

Transparency and research

Research that arises in the field of FM is made widely known to the scientific community and the economy. We make the knowledge pool in the field of FM at the TU Wien transparent in order to use synergies, show competencies, open up new research fields and generate follow-up projects.

Implementation

We place the TU Wien as the research center for FM worldwide. This is done in close cooperation with the "REUG - Real Estate User Group" at IFM - Immobilien und Facility Management, which already has a corresponding structure.

Pooling of different topics:

Researchers at TU Wien with their areas of interest and responsibilities
Publications in the field of FM
Open topics of theses at the TU Wien
Common appointment calendar for thematically relevant congresses, conferences, trade fairs, events, project tenders, etc.
Awards for scientific theses

Ass. Prof. Dr. Iva Kovacic, opens an external URL in a new window

The research unit of integral construction planning and industrial building has proven experience in practice, research and teaching in the design, planning and construction of manufacturing plants and commercial buildings.

The research focus is on integral, life cycle-oriented planning, taking into account the economic, ecological, socio-cultural and institutional aspects of sustainability.

Our core methodological competencies include:

Building certification (ÖGNI/DGNB)
Life Cycle Cost Calculation
BIM (Building Information Modelling)
Post-Occupancy Evaluation
Qualitative and quantitative assessment of integral planning (socio-empirical research methods, experiment...)
