Renoveringssamlade

Renoveringssamlade is a term used in Swedish contexts to describe a compiled collection of renovation projects and related documentation assembled by organizations such as municipalities, housing cooperatives, or architectural archives. The concept functions as a reference resource for planning, budgeting, and policy evaluation, and can cover a range of interventions including interior renovations, exterior facades, energy efficiency upgrades, and accessibility improvements.

The term is not a formal standardized classification; rather it is used informally by practitioners to describe dossiers or portfolios that document renovation work. A typical renoveringssamlade includes project briefs, architectural drawings, building permits, tender documents, procurement records, cost estimates, schedules, and post-implementation evaluations, sometimes with performance data on energy use or user satisfaction.

Historically, renoveringssamlade has been used in Swedish planning and architectural management since the late 20th century, with different institutions maintaining their own practices and formats. The scope and level of detail can vary between organizations and projects.

Access and use of renoveringssamlade are usually controlled by the managing institution. They are commonly stored in municipal archives, housing associations’ archives, or digital repositories. Researchers, planners, and developers may gain access under applicable permissions and privacy considerations. The material supports planning assessments, energy retrofit programs, dissemination of best practices, and historical or comparative research, while raising concerns about privacy, copyright, and data quality.
