Interesting but sadly not forward thinking enough for Australia least where a handful of months it would be beneficial to pipe cool water or cool a room as well. I have viewed [1] [2] (source) and don't see any additional options to redirect any cooled air or water.
There other thing is adoption of such units would be restricted to power grids with very stable power supplies, ie not more regional areas where induction motors are not dying every few years due to grid power failure mode - unless one has decided to bite the bullet and stabilise with solar / battery arrangement.
