As buildings become better insulated and more energy efficient,
often all that will be needed
is something to erase the chill of winter or draw out the sting
in summer. Quite often, it's just a few degrees that makes
the difference between comfortable and uncomfortable.
Many conventional heating and cooling systems often seem to be too
excessive in its heating and cooling capabilities or may be cheap
to purchase at first but rack up high energy bills and use artificial
elements for generating the heat and cooling. Or providing instantaneous
hot or cold air coming out from system often is unnatural or too
excessive.
Ever wondered if the system could also use the natural environment
to moderate the temperature though solar energy or without
any running costs (ie mains power)?
One way of moderating your rooms temperature in a more natural and
cost effective way is by harnessing natural air movements and solar
energy and we are turn away from the provide to something that is
more natural to controlling our comfort levels.
Introducing the Sun Lizard,
a unique way which combines all these benefits into one.
Everyday, we leave our rooms tightly closed from the surrounding
environment, trapping the air inside. We often return a few
hours later to a room that is so hot in summer or so cold in winter.
It is a reminder that a building needs to be breathe by reheating
the warm air during Winter and letting the hot air escape while drawing
the cool air from underneath in Summer and .
Sun Lizard is designed to use
principles of natural air movements, solar energy and heating cooling
dynamics to will allow you to heat and cool your room to your comfort
where ever you are.

FACT Space heating and
cooling accounts for
59% of Victoria’s
residential energy use
and is responsible for
26% of residential
