“…Neglect of repairs is one of the main reasons for the decrease in the technical value of buildings [1][2][3][4]. The main task of building maintenance is rehabilitation planning [5][6][7][8][9]. In order to maintain existing buildings, it is necessary to solve problems related to forecasting rehabilitation needs [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

The appropriate rehabilitations planning of buildings should be based on the analysis of rehabilitation needs. This article proposes a methodology for Determining the Rehabilitation Needs of Buildings (DRNB). The DRNB method can be used for buildings made with traditional technology. The methodology provides the possibility to prioritize the analyzed objects and their elements as well as to determine the sequence of rehabilitation needs of any buildings and their elements. The method can be used for a single building or several buildings. The obtained results can be compared and order relations between them can be determined, which will allow the planning of repair works. In setting the priorities in the DRNB method, the implementation of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used. The article presents also the application the DRNB method and results of determination of rehabilitation needs for residential buildings that are located in Poland in Zielona Góra. Determining the rehabilitation needs of building components should be the first stage of planning repair works. The DRNB method helps to determine which elements in which buildings need necessary rehabilitation now, which elements of rehabilitation are important now, and which elements can be rehabilitated later—i.e., if the repair works are only useful and are not currently necessary.
