Personalized 'Greenhouse Effect' for Commercial Buildings.Australian 'Sun Lizard' Beats the 'Too Hot, Too Cold' Room Temperature Problem - and Makes It Just Right SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden -- Just as a lizard can find the perfect spot in the sun or shade to control its body temperature, Australian award winning solar heating and cooling Solar heating and cooling The use of solar energy to produce heating or cooling for technological purposes. Beneficial uses include distillation of sea water to produce salt or potable water; heating of swimming pools; space heating; heating of water for innovation Sun Lizard can help heat or cool offices and factories while cutting energy bills and greenhouse emissions. www.alternativefuels.com.au Companies can run up large energy bills and contribute to greenhouse emissions for the sake of a few extra degrees in room temperature. Heating and cooling accounts for more than half the energy consumption item in the average office building and a largely neglected solution sector in the green clean tech space, according to Sun Lizard creator Colin Gillam of Alternative Fuels and Energy (AFE (Apple File Exchange) An earlier Macintosh utility that converted data files between Mac and PC formats. It also included a file translator between IBM's DCA format and MacWrite. ). The Sun Lizard heats and cools homes by using the principles of natural air movements, solar energy, and heating cooling dynamics. Gillam said that as buildings become generally more energy efficient, just a few degrees can make the difference between comfortable and uncomfortable room temperatures. The Sun Lizard uses the sun to heat or cool without any negative effect on the environment and cuts energy bills at the same time. The roof-mounted Sun Lizard allows the home to breathe by reheating Reheating The addition of heat to steam of reduced pressure after the steam has given up some of its energy by expansion through the high-pressure stages of a turbine. warm air in winter and letting hot air escape in summer and drawing in cool air from outside. It can be retrofitted to existing buildings or incorporated into new buildings. AFE is a BSI BSI - British Standards Institute delegation company and brought the Sun Lizard to at the Always On GoingGreen event at the University of California, Davis The University of California, Davis, commonly known as UC Davis, is one of the ten campuses of the University of California, and was established as the University Farm in 1905. (September 10-12, 2007) to meet investors, manufacturers, and distributors for the US. "With 230 installations in Australia, we have proven there is real scope for growth in the solar thermal technology sector and innovative products like the Sun Lizard will lead the way," Gillam said. The Sun Lizard appeared on Australia ABC TVs 'New Inventors' program in August 2007 and won the evening's award as best invention over two competitors (see http://www.abc ABC in full American Broadcasting Co.
