Energy World: 40 Years On - Film Screening
The Berrill Lecture Theatre, Milton Keynes, MK7 6AA
Wednesday 16th September 2026
The premiere of Living Archive MK’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 some of those involved including 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.
