Picture the air conditioner as a heat pump, between two equally large rooms. Both rooms have the same temperature. The air conditioners function is to “steal” the heat from one room and put it in the other. We perceive the “stealing heat” as “producing cold”. You can not “produce” cold, it is a misnomer in the English language.
Of course it takes electricity (power) to to move the air from one room to the other, kind of like taking a woodpile and put it in a new one. The caloric energy of the wood, has no bearing on where the woodpile is. ( the two chambers), so the labor of moving the woodpile has no effect on the caloric value by burning it later on. Same with the two rooms, The calories from one room are simply moved to the other.
The amount of calories moved are measured in BTU’s or British thermal units, but you could easily convert that into kilo calories for arguments sake.
