　　Ten years ago our company had two new office buildings constructed as regional headquarters for two regions. The buildings were erected by different construction companies Alpha and Zeta. Although the two buildings had identical floor plans, the building constructed by Zeta cost 30 percent more to build. However, that building s expenses for maintenance last year were only half those of Alpha s. Furthermore, the energy consumption of the Zeta building has been lower than that of the Alpha building every year since its construction. Such data indicate that we should use Zeta rather than Alpha for our contemplated new building project, even though Alpha s bid promises lower construction costs.

　　Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

　　中文翻译：

　　10年以前我们公司在两个不同地区拥有两座地方办公建筑。它们由两家建筑公司--Alpha和Zeta分别建造。尽管两座建筑的平面布局基本相同，由Zeta所建造的建筑造价高出了30%， 但去年的维护费用是由Alpha建的楼的50%。而且，Z大楼建成以来的能耗每年都比Alpha大楼要少。这些数据表明我们应该使用Z建筑公司而不是A公司来建造未来的建筑工程，尽管A的标书承诺造价会更低。
