Sustainability - Properly insulating the roof (with an R-value of at least 3.5) would change the energy label from ‘D’ to ‘C.’ - Most likely the existing cavity walls cannot be insulated. However, additional interior walls (with an R-value of at least 3.5) can be installed. The walls adjacent to the unheated stairwell should also be insulated in the same way. This would improve the label from ‘C’ to ‘B.’ -The existing glazing is already ‘HR+’ and ‘HR++,’ and the boiler does not need to be replaced. -The apartment is also suitable for a hybrid heat pump, which would change the energy label from ‘B’ to ‘A.’ Specifics/facilities -Year of construction: 1954 -Living area: 73 m2 (measurement report available) -The property is freehold -Energy label D -Optimal floor insulation (Fermacell subfloor plus insulation between the floor and the ceiling of the downstairs neighbours) -Active and professionally managed Owners’ Association.
