When it's cool out, they use it as a fridge. It's not technology, but it sure is clean. Have a good weekend!

DIYer's have been adding 1 way valves and thermometer controlled fans to fridges and freezers for years. The in fridge thermometer is in series with an outdoor thermometer and the fan turns on when the outdoor temperature is lower than the infridge thermometer set point and the infridge temperature is higher than the setpoint. This is backed up by the regular fridge thermostat set a little higher than the fan thermostat so if the temp is too high outside the regular compressor kicks in. Not rocket science. Old idea!
