2-D before. So, after we can get our contractors up<br />

The General mentioned a couple times about<br />
the use <strong>of</strong> water-cooled chillers versus air-cooled<br />
chillers. Just a brief note, we are going to air-<br />
cooled chillers. It is now the standard equipment.<br />
The water-cooled chillers create multiple problems.<br />
You have to buy the water. You have to treat the<br />
water. You're using a huge amount <strong>of</strong> water, which<br />
varies by the size <strong>of</strong> the system. One note here, we<br />
have implemented an air-cooled chiller system in<br />
Tokyo, 720 tons. It was using a little over four<br />
million gallons <strong>of</strong> water a year that we are now not<br />
having to use. We're just discharging all this heat<br />
into the air.<br />
So we're saving four million gallons <strong>of</strong><br />
water a year in one location. The typical building,<br />
the standard embassy design that we do is about<br />
three hundred tons <strong>of</strong> cooling, which is still a<br />
million tons per post per year that we're going to<br />
be able to save just by using air-cooled across the<br />
board.<br />
The lower picture here on the left-hand<br />
