Are there any tube amps that don't give off any---


HEAT!! 
I have a very small dedicated listening room, and so I was wondering IF there are any tube amps..I guess hybrid or all tube ( although more all tube)- that simply give off NO heat or very very little heat after full warm up. Since the climate seems to be getting hotter, it would be nice to have the benefits of a tube amp with no heat whatsoever. ( is this even possible?). 
Running AC isn't my preferred way of listening in a small room, so this question is now on my mind. I do not want to consider Class D solid state amps...as I know they are an option from a heat perspective...but just tubes.

Thanks guys, but like I stated in my OP, I dont want to consider Class D amps, at this time. 
@atmasphere  curious as to what you would suggest in Class D that rivals tubes for smoothness and detail, I can only think of one amp that this may apply to...the Jeff Rowland.
@austinstereo.  That is interesting. I am not concerned about the issue of injury, as I never let folk get near the tubes. Your client has a point though if he had little children or pets that could get injured!
The issue I brought up in my OP, has to do with the fact that the room size is also crucial. The smaller the room, the bigger the problem.
Some folks probably don't comprehend why this would be a problem, as they enjoy a large enough listening  room that a warm/hot amp ( heat wise) won't ever be an issue. 
@atmasphere Actually my AC works well enough to cool the room, BUT the issue is that it is a little noisy, just as any fan vent would be.
Like you stated, my tube amps also run coolish when they are in standby, but once the voltage is applied, up goes the heat expansion. My amps only use two KT150’s per side, so in the big picture, they do NOT give off a huge amount of heat, but they give off enough to really make my very small room nice and toasty within about an hour. My ss amp does the same thing, after about an hour and a half; but here’s the thing, it would be great if a tube amp existed that gave off no real heat after multiple hours...maybe this isn’t realistic, given the technology, but is this possible??
Warm but not hot is how my amps get now. Problem is, that due to such a small room, warm over time is enough to heat the room considerably. 
I like the idea of maybe rolling in some smaller tubes, which might lead to even less heat. Something I will look into.
@jaytor Isn't the Purifi module a Class D module? I'm not really interested in a Class D amp, mainly due to the fact that all of the Class D amps i have heard are too sterile sounding to my ears. Even the 'best of class' Jeff Rowland models.
@atmasphere  Punching holes in walls or floors is not an option. My dedicated room is a stand alone structure on a concrete slab. No basement. 

In my room, even an amp that puts out just a little heat, over time heats up the room considerably. I already own a couple of amps that put out just a little heat ( one a ss amp, one a tube amp). I also have AC, and in the summer, this is required. The AC runs fairly quietly, but one can still hear it..again due to the size of the room.
My OP was really more about an amp that runs totally cool, vs. one that runs a little warm. ( many tube amps run a little warm --and a few monsters act like space heaters!).
@jond  I actually do a seasonal amp rotation, the tube amps for the winter and mostly the ss amp for the summer. Even so, the ss amp heats the room enough within about 1.5 hours that it is time for the AC. 
Swapping out the KT150's for El34's may be an option. The big KT150's do give off some heat. I cannot imagine an amp with 24 of them or more...like the ARC Ref 750 or the upcoming newer version...Total heat engine!
