Section 83 of 103
82. Building Lifecycle and Asset Lifecycle
Stable section ID: S05-CON-015-SECTION-83 · 10 content blocks
The Building Lifecycle is the complete sequence of stages and conditions through which an identified Building progresses, from initial need and planning through design, construction, operation, transformation, deconstruction, and final site or material disposition.
An Asset Lifecycle is the corresponding lifecycle of an individual Engineering Asset, including a Component, Node, Cartridge, Module, tool, software service, Digital Twin, document, or manufacturing process.
A Building Lifecycle contains many Asset Lifecycles, but they are not identical. A Cartridge may be replaced several times during the life of a Building. A reused Node may exist before one Building and continue within another. A software system may be retired while the physical Building remains in operation.
Lifecycle records shall therefore distinguish:
the Building identity from constituent Asset identities;
Building-level states from Component-level states;
original installation from replacement or reuse;
physical life from digital-service life;
ownership duration from technical service life.
The end of one Asset Lifecycle does not automatically establish the end of the Building Lifecycle. Similarly, Building deconstruction does not necessarily terminate the lifecycle of recoverable Components.
