A listed building has particular structural and heritage characteristics. The energy-label assessment and permission to make alterations are separate matters. Check current obligations and discuss proposed measures with appropriate experts.
Where do you start?
Clarify your question before requesting advice or an assessment. Is it about selling or renting, a renovation plan or a technical choice? The intended result determines what information must be recorded and which report suits it.
These details help you move forward.

From information to an appropriate approach.
Improving a listed building requires attention to its historic value. An energy-label assessment establishes its energy performance; determining feasible improvements also requires careful consideration of the property and applicable conditions.
Listed-building details, construction drawings and evidence of previous improvements. Also record unknown details. An incomplete file need not delay your question, but it helps to explain this beforehand.
What does this mean for your property?
An energy label or advice does not grant permission to alter protected building elements.
When enquiring, discuss the address, building type and any alterations. For multiple properties or an owners’ association, also identify shared building elements and the contact person.
Ask about your propertyRules and conditions can change. Check the current information for your situation with RVO.
