To promote China’s sustainable building technology, it is necessary to conduct an overall evaluation of the building lifetime exposure to wind-driven rain (WDR). The annual driving rain index (aDRI) and airfield absolute spell index (IAS) values of 141 representative areas were calculated by using the meteorological data of past 30 years. Then based on ArcGIS 10.4, the long-term and extreme exposure maps of WDR in various China regions were drawn. The results show that extreme and long-term WDR exposure is particularly severe in South China's coastal areas, which require particular attention. The exposure to WDR is gradually decreasing from the coast to the inland regions.
