Several definitions have been developed to assess the lifetime performance of buildings, from the perspective of different stakeholders who have an interest.

Required life is the minimum period during which the structure, or part of it, should meet the users’ requirements. This means that it is capable of performing its design functions, taking into account routine servicing and maintenance.

This may be the main concern of the building owner or user as they may want to know how long the building is likely to fulfil their requirements.

Other definitions include:

* Design life.
* Technical life.
* Functional life.
* Economic life.
