<abstract language="eng">India has a long and illustrious history of preserving and caring for historic structures. We, the Indians, believe in conservation, not only for structures but also for the sake of a healthy ecosystem. It not only safeguards native plants, birds, and animals, but it also safeguards us. Heritage protection is an important element in city development since it helps to establish landmarks within heritage areas while also generating revenue and supporting the tourism industry. This is because heritage sites are being developed to meet the need for recreational possibilities, and the heritage sector has begun to be considered as part of the leisure industry¡¯s supply. For preserving the inheritance and the need to provide understanding to visitors, a tool developed for the heritage building which has some factors and its sub-factors affecting on the heritage building based on architectural expert¡¯s survey in this paper. Based on of expert¡¯s evaluation of factors, an empirical equation has been created which gives the value of Heritage building. By this tool or equation, we can get not only values of factors of affecting on the building and overall value of the building for heritage building but also get value for any abandoned building.</abstract>
