The Greening Initiative
Double Edge Theatre’s Greening Project is a four-part energy plan designed to significantly reduce the theatre’s environmental footprint using a variety of energy conservation solutions. With this project, Double Edge has the chance to be in the forefront of the growth of eco-conscious industry in the state and serve as a model in its community for a shift to green energy.
Planned greening solutions include:
- Fiberglass insulation in all heated buildings
- A large-scale utility interface photovoltaic system providing solar-powered electrical energy
- A wood-burning stove in the Pavilion Building to replace the oil-powered furnace currently in use
- A solar hot water system at the Guest House
- A system of water conservation solutions
- A system for waste reduction.
Project Impact
The energy conservation strategies of the Greening Plan will result in a minimum of a 50% decrease of the overall energy usage of the theatre.
Costs
This project is made possible through a matching grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council Cultural Facilities Fund and other generous donors.
