THEATRE ROYAL BATH IMPROVES ENERGY EFFICIENCYVIA BMS RETROFIT

摘要

The Theatre Royal Bath sought to streamline its energy management and reduce carbon emissions through use of a Priva BMS, but it faced the challenges of historical building conservation and a complex legacy system. The Theatre Royal Bath, which has been Located in the centre of world heritage site Bath since 1805, has a varied history. Destroyed by a fire in the mid-nineteenth-century, it needed to be rebuilt. During World War Two, it also survived the extensive bombing of Bath during the Blitz. The Theatre Royal has taken on many guises, but now, for the first time, it's going green, with an aim to reduce its carbon footprint by 30%. A￡2.35million refurbishment of the Theatre Royal's main house was completed last year, and finding ways to make the theatre more energy-efficient was high on the list of priorities. However, as an historical landmark and Grade II* listed building, the theatre is subject to particularly stringent building restrictions. Balancing historical conservation with carbon-reduction meant choosing energy-saving equipment that remained visually discreet and would not damage the delicate fabric of the building.
