The premiere of Living Archive’s film celebrating the 40th anniversary of the 1986 Energy World exhibition, one of the high spots in the development of the New City, featuring interviews with residents and members of the Development Corporation.

Energy World was one of the highlights of 1986, which the Government had designated Energy Efficiency Year. It was bigger than its predecessor HomeWorld 81 and help to change the way that houses were built. The National Homes Energy Rating scheme (which is integral to all house purchases) stems directly from the exhibition and the work surrounding it.
