    1. Building must be able to withstand loadings imposed upon it without suffering deformity or collapse
    2. Durability
      1. Component parts of building should be able to withstand hostilities of the environment without deterioration
      2. Thermal insulation
        1. Building should provide an acceptable standard of resistance to the passage of heat
          1. Level of insulation dependent upon use of building and its location
          2. Exclusion of moisture and protection from weather
