    The residential version of what you’re describing is a “whole house fan”, and they definitely work! The biggest difference is that you can’t cool the whole house in 45 seconds because the walls would still be hot even if you replaced all of the air, so a slower constant breeze is needed to convect heat away from them (and is also better for noise and not creating a wind tunnel in your living room)
