C.A.T. in Wales (Machynlleth SP?) has just that info.

I was up there last week. No bloody use whatsoever. I went there with
three questions and didn't get an answer to one of them! I didn't even
buy anything in the bookshop (which is almost unheard of).

* What's the SotA in greywater toilet flush?
You don't. We don't, therefore you don't.

* Can I do a thin-layer sedum green roof on corrugated cement?
No idea. Try it. If it doesn't either collapse or the soil slips
into the gulleys, let us know.

* Solar - got any numbers?
Numbers? Real quantitative stuff? Devilry!

Eco-disney there these days. Cute funicular, but it's more about showing
urban kids how We Plant the Seed..., Nature Grows the Seed... than it
is about beardies with pipe wrenches any more.

They were interviewed on the Today program a month or two back.
I was amazed how clueless they were when asked things like what
the payback period was on a house wind turbine. The guy said they
didn't know and were starting to look into it. It's been known
for ages how useless the things are and that they are never
likely to come close to paying back in their lifetime.
