– Energy efficiency in historical heritage buildings is viewed as a taboo because these buildings usually are 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. Measurements to 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.
