Bosön Sports and Conference Centre is Sweden's national sports development and high-performance training centre, located on Lidingö near Stockholm. The facility combines indoor and outdoor sports infrastructure, including multi-purpose sports halls, a swimming pool, fitness and strength-training areas, athletics and football training facilities, and sports science laboratories. In addition to its sports spaces, Bosön offers accommodation, conference and meeting facilities, classrooms, dining services, and educational spaces used for coach training, sports leadership development, and events. The centre serves elite athletes, sports federations, clubs, students, and community users throughout the year.
"Bosön Sports and Conference Centre is implementing an innovative energy-efficiency renovation and management approach as part of the European SPORT-RENOV project, which aims to support the transition of sports facilities towards nearly-zero-energy buildings. The innovation focuses on improving the environmental performance of an existing sports complex through a combination of technological upgrades, data-driven facility management, and strategic planning.
The initiative includes the monitoring and analysis of energy consumption across Bosön's sports halls, swimming facilities, accommodation, and support buildings. Based on this data, opportunities for reducing energy use and improving operational efficiency are identified and prioritized. The project examines solutions related to heating, ventilation, cooling, and building management systems, as well as measures to optimize the overall energy performance of the campus.
Implementation has required collaboration between facility managers, the Swedish Sports Confederation, researchers, engineers, and European project partners. Bosön serves as a pilot and demonstration site where innovative renovation methods and management practices can be tested and evaluated in a real sports facility environment.
