The Theatres Trust
The Theatres Trust, the national advisory body for theatres, promotes sustainable buildings. The Theatres Trust is working to provide advice to theatres introducing climate change adaptations and implementing Display Energy Certificates. www.theatrestrust.org.uk
Arcola Theatre
Arcola aims to become the first carbon neutral theatre. Already Arcola has installed a hydrogen fuel cell to power the cafe and bar lighting and selected main shows, the theatre has also installed LED lighting. Both of these changes have led to a 60 per cent reduction in energy costs. www.arcolaenergy.com
