Buildings should have their capacity decrease as their hull points decrease. So if a building with 4HP and capacity 20 takes 2 HP (half of total), it's capacity is reduce to 10 (half). If there is a unit inside that is larger than the new capacity they get to choose to disembark or stay in the building and models are killed (by collapsing building) until the unit size is equal to the transport capacity.

What do you think?

More bookkeeping and it's easier to force a unit out into the line of fire... What advantages do you see from this system?

It provides realism, fun and interesting decision making situations to the building rules which are pretty meh as it stands. And if you were playing with proper buildings and theur rules. Anyways you would probably be keeping track of how many hull points it has anyways. It's also not that easy to force a unit out into the line of fire unless you have the building surrounded. And the unit may decide to stay in the building. I don't think it would be a great addition to the standard rule set but may be a fun rule if you don't care about having a quick game

The building already loses its AV value from damage so it becomes easier to damage it more and can have collapses which kill off a large number of models. House rules might be cool but buildings are already underused (compared to ruins which are everywhere) so adding more complexity to the core rules would be kinda counter productive. In a narrative type game it would be cool to see some different building rules utilized.

well you dont have to use it if you dont want to

buildings have enough downsides, they don't need more
