Interventions to promote eco-efficiency and reduce the energy consumption in theatres and movie theatres owned by Roma Capitale

Improve energy efficiency, in cinema, theatres and museums (Mission 1, Component 3, Investment 1.3)

Italy’s Recovery and Resilience Plan provides for the improvement of the energy efficiency of buildings linked to the cultural and creative sector. They are often found in outdated, energy inefficient facilities that generate high maintenance costs related to air-conditioning, lighting, communication and safety. The investment finances actions to improve the energy efficiency of Italian museums, cinemas and theatres (both public and private).

The investment is financed by Italy’s Recovery and Resilience plan by EUR 210 million.

The nine planned interventions aim to improve safety and hospitality in theatre and movie theatre spaces, as well as optimize the performance and functionality of the rooms through eco-efficiency and reduced energy consumption. The funded projects involve seven theatres and two movie theatres owned by Roma Capitale, including Teatro Argentina, Teatro Costanzi (Rome Opera Theatre Foundation), Teatro Quarticciolo, Teatro Torlonia, Teatro India (Room A and Room B), Teatro Tor Bella Monaca (Room A and Room B), Teatro del Lido di Ostia, Casa del Cinema, and Cinema Aquila.
More specifically, the project actions will focus on the restoration of materials in compliance with regulations; the elimination of hazards caused by damaged parts; the creation and/or revision of electrical and special systems integrated with energy consumption efficiency control systems; and the revision or replacement of heating and air conditioning systems to improve the overall management of theatres and movie theatres.

These interventions will enhance the audience experience by ensuring a safer, more comfortable, and energy-efficient environment in theatres and movie theatres.
This project is financed by the Recovery and Resilience Facility with EUR 320.000,00.
