Good points from Steve Harris on day/night operation and on tying in
the facility's "regular" air conditioning. 

Scottsdale is rather warm. Will that, in itself, raise the energy cost
of maintaining a patient facility so much that we should be looking
for a permanent home in, say, Montana instead?

Wherever the facility is located, it's going to produce a lot of waste
heat. What use can we get out of a permanent plume of warm air or 
water? Hmm. In a cold climate, we might be able to warm our building,
at least in part, with the waste heat from the Cold Room! I suppose
that even in Scottsdale the winters can be chilly once in a while.
How does the math work out? Are we moving enough heat to make it worth
our while to do something with it?
