Technical sustainability of the building is the ability of a building to retain its required structural, performance and functional characteristics over a specified service life, assuming proper use and necessary maintenance. It defines the period of time during which a building can perform its functions safely and as intended.
The technical durability of a building depends on the materials and technology used. It is also influenced by the quality of the design and construction, the environmental conditions and the way the building is used. The resistance of building components to moisture, temperature, chemical and biological agents is also important. Fatigue of materials over time is also important.
The assessment of a building's technical durability takes into account the wear and tear of its components, the rate of degradation and the possibility of repair or replacement. This concept is important for planning the operation, renovation and upgrading of the home. And also when assessing the cost-effectiveness of maintaining or continuing to use the facility.
