The five experts were selected among well-recognized professionals in the field of the condition state of buildings, with more of 30 years of experience in this topic. Among them there were different technical qualifications: architect, building engineer and civil engineer. The average time for completing the questionnaire was 40 min. Table 2 presents an example of the values assigned for the first 10 images. In this table, the column ID corresponds to the identification of the images of the façades, and in the column T0 are the reference values or pattern, which are the y values assigned by one of the members of the field team. It was considered appropriate that these values were not taken into account for the calculation of the average values of y of each image.
