Adam
Hutton has been so impressed by the Sun
Lizard hes installed
two atop his duplex home in southeastern South Australia.
The two Sun Lizards heat
and cool the respective halves of the one-story building occupied
by Adam and his family and his mother. With the two Sun
Lizards,
Adam has the power of South Australias
powerful sun at his fingertips. With southern South Australias
highly variable weather, both are necessary
sometimes on the same day!
When the Sun
Lizard is
set to heating, the average room temperature rises, Adam says. And
on days its set on cooling it extracts air from the roof cavity,
keeping heat infiltration into the house to a minimum.
