Research Program on Renovation 1986-1988: Summary Report 1. Initial Information of Renovation
The aim of the building renovation project undertaken by the Technical Research Centre of Finland was to gather together data on renovation techniques applicable to certain aspects of postwar buildings and infrastructure. The project, carried out in 1986-1988, was divided into four sections: Initial data required for renovation purposes, Renovation and inspection techniques, Town and residential suburbs as targets for renovation, and Direction of road and street maintenance. In brief, the results obtained in Initial data required for renovation purposes were the following: A model for predicting the building materials requirement created by renovation schemes was developed for long-term inspection purposes. A basic file was compiled on the amounts and types of such materials needed for the repair of buildings of different kinds and ages. A data file was created describing apartment buildings constructed between 1940 and 1975, their designs, structures, norms and constructional methods employed. This type of building will become one of the most common targets for renovation in the near future. Statistics on the renovation of buildings in Finland are sporadic and incomplete and thus incorporate a risk of erroneous conclusions being drawn from them. A data file was created on the major building materials and structures used in Finland from the point of view of their durability and susceptibility to damage. A knowledge of the types of damage and wear to be expected forms and essential basis for the systematics of the life cycle of buildings. The file can also be used for laboratory modelling of the life expectancy of buildings. The planning documents for renovation schemes are frequently unsatisfactory, expecially where building specifications are concerned. A computer file of general quality standards for renovation schemes should be drawn up.
