If i understand it correctly, building=* values describe how the building looks, not how it is used. For example, a church that is now used as a pub still remains a building=church. Therefore, for a disused building, i'd leave the building=* tag and add disused=yes. (The alternative tagging using lifecycle prefixes, disused:building=*, isn't rendered.)
