There are various misconceptions about HVAC systems and what they do. One of them being that HVAC blows in cold air into your building. The truth is, it does not make cold air, it simply removes heat from the air that is already in the building. Heat is energy, which means that it can't be destroyed. Heat can be moved from a place where it is objectionable to a place where no one is concerned about where it is as long as it is not in their space.
A refrigerator has a similar process to how HVAC works inside a building. An example is when you place a beverage inside a refrigerator, the refrigerator takes that heat from the beverage outside to keep the beverage nice and cool. that is how HVAC works when it comes to keeping us cool inside a building or our home.
