<br>
Do you mean that these buildings are already mapped in the<br>
Openstreetmap Database, but as a generic tag like "building=yes"?<br>
<br>
Or are you planning to import the shapes of buildings from an external database?<br>
<br>
If you are adding the tags due to local knowledge of the mappers,<br>
especially if the mappers survey the buildings, then that is great.<br>
<br>
If the data is coming from an external source, please read and follow<br>
the Import Guidelines and the Automated Edits Code of Conduct:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Automated_Edits_code_of_conduct</a><br>

<br>
You may wish to look at how the key building=* is currently used:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:building" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:building</a><br>
<br>
Most commonly, the key "building=*" describes how the building looks:<br>
for example, a building that was built as a church, but is now used as<br>
a theatre, is still a "building=church" but then you add<br>
"amenity=theatre" to show that it is used as a theatre.<br>
<br>
Residential, commercial and retail areas are mapped with the key<br>
Landuse and include the land around the buildings. In residential<br>
areas, this would include gardens, lawns, garages, parkings spaces,<br>
and so on, tagged landuse=residential. The buildings will be<br>
building=house, building=apartment, building=duplex, building=terrace<br>
and so on.<br>
<br>
In Commercial and Retail areas, the landuse area will include parking<br>
lots, service roads, service buildings, outdoor seating areas,<br>
courtyards, and so on, in the landuse=commercial or landuse=retail<br>
areas.<br>
<br>
And landuse=industrial includes the industrial facilities as well as<br>
warehouses, man_made=works (factories), service roads, parking lots,<br>
power lines, etc.<br>
<br>
There is currently no established tag for mixed-use urban areas, but<br>
most of these are tagged as landuse=retail, since retail is often the<br>
main use of the first floor or level of the buildings in a mixed-use<br>
area. If retail isn't the main use, rather offices plus hotels and<br>
some residential, it is common to use landuse=commercial for<br>
commercial+residential or office+hotel areas.<br>
<br>
In addition, mappers are encouraged to map the shops, offices, and<br>
other individual features within each building. A building=office will<br>
often contain one or more office=company, office=ngo, or<br>
office=government features. Retail buildings and landuse will contain<br>
one or more shop=* features<br>
<br>

- <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:office" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:office</a><br>
<br>
For public services, many things are found under office=government or amenity=*<br>

features at Map Features:<br>
