MR. GLAVIS: Yes.<br />
MS. GOSHOW: This is a question I have for<br />
you. Does water-cooled require more energy than<br />
air-cooled or are they both, do they require both<br />
about the same amount <strong>of</strong> energy?<br />
MR. GLAVIS: We went to the different<br />
manufacturers and we were looking at this for the<br />
last five years very intently. As long as you put<br />
the total equation together and you start looking at<br />
the piping and you start looking at the cost <strong>of</strong><br />
running these things for X number <strong>of</strong> years, the<br />
ancillary equipment for water cooled is more<br />
expensive. It's also more expensive if you add up<br />
all the first costs.<br />
So, then I started looking at sizes.<br />
Industry finally acknowledged that anything under<br />
let's say 400 tons, 500 tons, depending on which<br />
manufacturer you are talking to, air-cooled is best.<br />
Air-cooled is more efficient. That doesn't include<br />
the cost <strong>of</strong> water.<br />
MS. GOSHOW: Right.<br />
MR. GLAVIS: And <strong>of</strong> course, as soon as I<br />
put the cost <strong>of</strong> water in, I'm finding out that some<br />
<strong>of</strong> these major manufacturers right around here are<br />
going air-cooled because the cost <strong>of</strong> water is<br />
