Service life
Years in service. One stated life so far; the band will widen as sources are added.
One source. This value rests on a single document (CNA e-Tool Estimated Useful Life Table, p7). Treat it as that source's figure, not a settled life, until others confirm it.

Municipal lives for exterior enclosure (B20)
23 municipalities in Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta state a life for exterior enclosure as a whole, in 18 distinct tables: 10–85 years, median 30. 33 rows come from capital asset policies (accounting lives, used for amortization) and 6 from asset management plans (planning lives, used to forecast replacement). They describe the system rather than this component, and none is a measured life.
Years. Each dot is one stated life and each bar a stated range; equal values stack. Hollow marks are planning lives from asset management plans; filled marks are accounting lives from policies. The dashed line is the median. Policies that copy the same table count once.

Open questions
- Only one source so far: HUD planning lives for US multifamily housing. Canadian and observed sources are needed.
- Written for GSA contracted O&M in US federal buildings; job plans are generic and defer to manufacturer instructions, and the fire extinguisher plans only point to NFPA 10.
