Belgian Requirements About Buildings Service Life

Source

The service life requirements of main dwelling components are determined through an inquiry among building specialists and among owners; this inquiry also has been extended to office buildings, schools, and hospitals. The required service life varies between 45 and 60 years for the building itself. 30 to 40 years for the external envelope and 25 to 35 years for internal partitions. The study is completed with an inquiry on actually observed service life.
