Energy World: 40 Years On - Film Screening
Berrill Lecture Theatre, The Open University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, MK7 6AA
In 1986 Milton Keynes Development Corporation organised a ground-breaking exhibition featuring houses that were at the cutting edge of energy efficiency. It attracted international architects and a visit from the then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
It was the result of a long-standing collaboration between the Development Corporation and the Open University. They had sought innovative ways to cut housing energy bills by maximising solar gain and improving insulation. They also developed software, that was piloted at Energy World, that could measure the energy efficiency of a house,.
Energy World: 40 years on tells this story and the far-reaching effects it had and the ways in which the legacy of that work is still being promoted today in Milton Keynes and elsewhere.
