Abstract

Buildings are susceptible to completing the service life after their long usage. However, early completion of building service life is always been a challenge to the construction industry and warrants a thorough analysis. India has enormous scope for building adaptation that is built in the modern era due to various factors such as completion of service life, the demand for functional changes, carbon footprint reduction, and strengthening resilience. All the above reasons can be improved by adopting the method of building adaptation of the existing old buildings. To know the need and degree of the building adaptation the factors both quantitative and qualitative are to be analyzed to know the BAP (Building Adaptation Potential) of a building before making a decision for a project. The methodology adopted in the paper is a survey of existing buildings and identifying the key factors to make a decision on adoption potential. The weighted mean has been identified to showcase the significance of each factor.
