Refrigerate With Nothing But Hot Water

  • Only problem is that this process requires a constant source of cold water which you can readily heat and dispose without a problem (ie. without causing environmental issues to watersheds.) If you have that source of cold water though, then you should be able to simply cool the house by using cold water pipes and avoid the energy wasted by the compressor process.
