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.

Linear Tube Audio makes an excellent sounding amp that runs cool.  Tube life is said to be 20 years or more.
Also Carver has its Crimson 275 that runs its tubes at about 1/3 the current of other amps.  You can actually put your hand on the power tubes without getting burned.
