Or an example that might be more readily acceptable, being something that a person without any domain knowledge could simply test* to prove it to themselves: Suppose you built a shed around the outdoor unit of a central air conditioning system and let it come up to max ambient temperature. Then right next to it you built a shed with a resistive heater which consumes the exact same wattage as the air conditioner. The first shed will be much warmer because you're not creating heat so much as you're moving heat. If you increase the resistive heater's wattage by about 2.5x then the sheds will be about the same temperature. * Don't actually do this and expect the system to survive.
