Abstract:
In this paper, the basic principles of the statistical study are compiled in order to prepare, analyse and interpret Germany's construction output data between 2007 and 2021 on the basis of its methodology. The statistical methods presented and applied in this paper originate from the field of descriptive statistics, which is suitable for full surveys. The investigation is carried out with the aim of identifying optimisation potential with regard to the preservation of existing buildings and the achievement of a building's useful life. For this purpose, the information basis for the terms building demolition and useful life is also formed. Using the methods and techniques described here, the data provided by the state statistical offices are analysed for correlations between the recorded characteristics. The potential for optimisation derived from this is just as much a result of this work as the findings on problems in the current recording of building demolition data. In order to understand the implications of demolishing a building, this thesis also examines the topic of grey energy and incorporates the associated theory into the statistical analysis.
