UPGRADES INFRASTRUCTURE


COMPLETE HVAC (HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING) SYSTEM OVERHAUL The HVAC system is 30 years old, outmoded, unreliable and inefficient. By completing the full-scope overhaul The Public will realize estimated savings of $100,000 in yearly maintenance repair costs, save the City approximately $100,000 in electric costs each year, and reduce the organization’s carbon footprint.


INSTALLATION OF A SPRINKLER SYSTEM THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING The Public will install sprinkler systems in the lobby, Joe’s Pub and Shiva Theater, and increase existing systems in the Anspacher, Newman, LuEsther and Martinson theaters to cover both audience and stage areas.


REPLACEMENT OF OUTDATED MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS FOR GREATER EFFICIENCY


EXPANDED KITCHEN FACILITIES FOR JOE’S PUB The kitchen will be doubled in size and optimized for greater efficiency. This will meet the catering needs for Joe’s Pub, the Library Lounge restaurant/bar, Lobby Concessions, and Special Events.


THE PUBLIC GOES GREEN


The Public Theater is joining with Mayor Bloomberg’s PlaNYC 2030 initiative to reduce the city’s carbon footprint 30% from its 2005 level by 2030. The scope of work will replace outmoded systems and infrastructure that will greatly reduce our carbon footprint. For example, our engineers estimate that replacing outdated equipment could provide up to 25% savings, and reduce our annual CO2 production by 519 tons. The Public is working to incorporate energy efficient or renewable technology, and to use sustainable and energy saving materials wherever possible to comply with LEED Rating Systems.


LEED is an internationally recognized green building certification system, providing third-party verification that a building or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at promoting sustainability by recognizing performance in five key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.
