The roof-mounted Sun Lizard allows the home to breathe by reheating 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.

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).
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.

AFE is a BSI delegation company and brought the Sun Lizard to at the Always On GoingGreen event at the University of California, Davis (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.
