Energy efficiency improvement potential in historical brick building

Abstract

Energy efficiency in historical heritage buildings is viewed as a taboo because these buildings nsiisilh arc protected under law and no energy efficiency measures that would change the appearance of the building are allowed. In this paper we look at the potential of increasing energy efficiency level in historical buildings. Measurementsto determine energy efficiency of a historical brick building have been done, which also give the possibility to determine the potential of energy efficiency measures in this building.
