In September 2023, the eco-efficiency work on the Lavanderia a Vapore was completed.
Fondazione Piemonte dal Vivo participated in public notice no. 1972 of 22 December 2021, published by the Ministry of Culture, for the submission of intervention proposals for the promotion of eco-efficiency and reduction of energy consumption in public and private theatres and cinemas, to be financed under the PNRR, Mission 1 – Digitisation, Innovation, Competitiveness, Culture and Tourism – Component 3 – Tourism and Culture 4. 0 (M1C3), Measure 1 ‘Cultural Heritage for the Next Generation’, Investment 1.3: Improving the energy efficiency of cinemas, theatres and museums.
With the decree of the Secretary General of the Ministry of Culture no. 452 of 7 June 2022, the evaluation ranking of the proposals received was published. The project presented by the Fondazione Piemonte dal Vivo was admitted, winning funding of €200,737.25.
Lavanderia a Vapore is a listed building, so the works were submitted to the Superintendence for approval.
Here are the approved and completed works:
- replacement of the old glass panes with double glazing fitted with double-glazing and improvements to the window frames;
- replacement of all the lights in the facility with LED lights and installation of presence sensors in the dressing rooms;
- installation of an air curtain on the entrance door to eliminate heat dispersion from inside the structure during events open to the public;
- purchase of LED projectors for the stage, which allows the use of one-fifth of the old incandescent projectors during events.
After a first step ended in December 2022, the largest part of the work took place between June and September 2023 and allowed a historic building like the Laundry in Steam to improve its eco-efficiency by reducing energy consumption.
