So it is important fill up the gap between conservation of value buildings and sustainability, which is not an antagonism at all. The work main objective is to verify the feasibility of a performance improvement of a value building, as national cultural heritage, in terms of energy saving and sustainable materials use. Since reduction in energy demand assumed as feasible value, the paper aims to demonstrate that the historic environment and its heritage assets should be conserved and enjoyed for the quality of life they bring to this and future generations although, a sustainable use and preservation of value buildings requires broad and long term compromises between social, economic and environmental aspects.
