The paper presents an assessment approach based on non-destructive and temporary vibration monitoring methods of a reinforced concrete building which is to be structurally and thermally rehabilitated. These methods are in according to the Romanian Code for Seismic Design of Building, Part 3 - Building Assessment, SR EN 1998-3:2008. The results related on dynamic characteristics of this building obtained by ambient vibration monitoring with a data acquisition system are presented. Also, a solution for the thermal insulation of the building is presented, as well as some results obtained from fire testing of this type of system. Where it is not possible to obtain correct information regarding the behaviour of a structural system, due to the lack of data needed to create a reliable model, the contribution of each presented method is consistent, using the advantages of non-destructive methods, ambient vibration monitoring and modal analysis. It is a current internationally practice, with a certain confidence.
