Oct 25 at 4:34 comment added M. Saamin Rahman @Chemomechanics I was considering real world scenario so did not consider reversible engine. However, I have edited the answer to include some more possible sources which increase entropy.

Oct 24 at 17:07 comment added Chemomechanics This answer is somewhat misleading, as an air conditioner powered by a reversible engine (that produces no entropy) would still not decrease total entropy. The key aspect is that the entropy removed from the room is moved directly outside the room, and additional entropy is also generated. This all occurs at the location of the air conditioner, not the location of the power source.
