Building Renovation Passports (BRPs) are emerging as a strategic tool for accelerating deep renovation through personalised, step-by-step roadmaps. A systematic review of 116 studies shows significant progress in methodological frameworks, digital platforms and regulation, but also reveals a gap between technological development and real-world implementation.

Integration with Digital Building Logbooks can provide the data foundation needed to plan and monitor interventions throughout a building’s lifecycle. However, challenges remain regarding data interoperability and quality, alongside difficulties in adapting common solutions to different national contexts. In addition, many models continue to prioritise energy and carbon over aspects such as comfort, health, and indoor environmental quality. The study indicates that the next step will be to demonstrate their effectiveness through real-world applications, develop economically scalable models, and design passports that are understandable and useful for those making renovation decisions.
