Green Homes

Synopsis: This programme identifies different technical approaches for designing energy efficient housing, considering space heating, hot water and electricity supply. While technical solutions go some way to providing energy efficient homes, dwellings must be suitable for occupants, and this video outlines social and personal factors that also must be taken into account. The programme examines energy efficient features in conventional housing in the UK, high energy efficient housing and ecological or sustainable housing. Among the examples used to illustrate these points are the Millennium Green project in Southwark (UK) and the Autonomous Urban House in Southwell (UK).

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
