■Theme:
“Lifetime function and half-life of buildings in Japan ”

■Contents:
This study revealed the lifetime function (and half-life) of buildings throughout Japan by use.
Since the lifetime of buildings is determined by a variety of factors, it is necessary to examine it as unique to each country. However, there is a lack of such research. By revealing the life expectancy of buildings as in this study, we will be able to more accurately assess the impact of buildings on the environment.
