The Museum of Science in London feels the visitors to the Museum have an incomplete understanding of the power potential of renewable energy systems. We designed an interactive web-site which clearly and concisely simulated the output potential of wind and solar energy systems which may soon be installed on the Museum roof. Observation and feedback surveys enabled the Museum to assess relative interest between different renewable energy systems and exhibit formats for use in future exhibit decisions.
