I remember seeing a Combined Heat and Power unit at the Ideal Home
Exhibition about 5 years ago as part of an energy efficient/environmentally
friendly house. IIRC it was sponsored by British Gas and also featured CNG
powered cars on the driveway. At the time I thought what an excellent
idea,
but sadly nothing seems to have come to fruition - the show the following
year made no mention :/
Another thing I thought was neat was a product called Extrudawood (sp?) - a
dense material made from recycled plastics and used for the door and window
frames with a sort of dark stained oak appearance.
