| Abstract |
The lifetimes of building elements can vary within a large interval
depending of the data sources used. It leads to inconsistencies
when performing building related assessment (such as economic or
environmental assessment, etc.). This project aims at gathering the
lifetime values observed in the Swiss and International literature,
assessing what are these values in practice and assessing the
effect of this variability on case studies in order to propose
consistent values for norms. |
