Planning
Product/Outcome Specifications
I have done a significant amount of research about eco-friendly architecture and from that research, I have designed an eco-friendly house in Autodesk Inventor (an engineering program on the computer). The house I have designed includes all the most of the aspects an eco-friendly house would need including solar panels, a turbine, underfloor heating, and loft insulation. Since my final product is not only a product but also an outcome, there are criteria for the product but also areas that must be met in order for me to have successfully achieved my goal.
In order to be successful, my product/ outcome will show:
A house that I will design with all criteria discussed in Appendix A

In Appendix A, you can see the LEED rating system. LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and it is a rating system devised by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) to evaluate the environmental performance of a building and encourage market transformation towards sustainable design. This allows the product to be easily ranked according to each of the band levels. The chart includes categories such as Innovation and Design, Location and Linkages, Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, Indoor Air Quality, and Awareness and Education.

Developing a Plan to Complete Project
In order to complete my project, a strict plan had to be made with due dates to ensure that none of the work was procrastinated or that I did not have sufficient time to complete. Most of these plans can be seen in Appendix B. A series of time periods were sectioned and small goals were set for each time period. This way all of the work would get done on time and

    Nonetheless, establishing timing standards for the project, pertaining to an estimated date of completion, along with a schedule for conducting tests, is critical, according to information provided by the SANS Institute (source). For example, projects that exceed the estimated date of completion may become costly, and running tests during peak and/or critical hours may result in several technological inefficiencies for Alexander Rocco Corporation. Likewise, establishing future meetings or other form of communications for updates throughout the course of the project is also

    LEED, or Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, is a certification program for green buildings with stringent requirements for building energy efficient and environmentally responsible structures. Some requirements of this program include specific building materials, smart grid capable, gray water reclamation systems, green space minimums, high levels of insulation and low thermal transfer glass (US Green Building Council). Green buildings are a must if we are to sustain our current level of growth. Despite the higher initial cost of these buildings, the long term energy savings make these buildings a smarter choice for

    Researching to see if there are finished examples that may be similar to what is being designed would be helpful. It won’t be the exact same thing but there may be some parts that would be comparable. You may also find that the design you are contemplating has been attempted and if problems arose with that project, then you would know what to expect and possibly how to avoid them in your project. Also, making sure that all of the know variables are available. Every project is different and the variables specific for that project need to be known.

    Since there are so many types LEED does not certify certain buildings because they would not fall under certain criteria. This is where different LEED partners come in, they are part of the Green Building Council. LEED use to certify parking garages but in 2009 parking garages could no longer get a certification from LEED because 75% or more the floor space is used to allow vehicles to rotate through (USGBC). Parksmart is a certification process that allows parking structures to be qualified to be green. Like LEED, Parksmart has different levels of certification: Bronze, Silver, and Gold which are all based on a point system also pioneer level is available for existing structures (USGBC). Another partner is PEER which is Performance Excellence in Electricity Renewal. PEER is a certification process that monitor’s how electricity is generated and being transferred making sure energy is not lost through this process (Certification). A certification can be achieved in three different area: campus project, city project, and supply project. Each of these areas has different assessment to determine whether or not they qualify for the PEER certification

    For process and product layouts, the design begins with a statement of the goals and facility. Preliminary layouts are then designed to meet these goals. After initial designs have been developed, improved designs are sought through numerical analysis and discussion with the users. The development of a layout should involve everyone that it is effecting. Computer based models can be used for preliminary estimations to create some preliminary layouts using CAD or similar drawing software. The layouts then can be analyzed against the goals of the facility and improvement made if necessary.

  • The Importance Of Time Management

    672 Words  | 2 Pages

    PMBOK guide defines TM as the “Use of available time and your own productivity along with the appropriate planning and management of the project schedule” highlighting the link between Time Management and productivity and its closely knit relationship to scope and cost areas. Max Wideman presents a wider definition for TM as the “function required to maintain appropriate allocation of time to the overall conduct of the project through the successive stages of its natural life-cycle, by means of the processes of time planning, time estimating, time scheduling, and schedule control.” Ultimately at it’s core however, TM is about time, its planning and control during all stages of the project. A further look into Wideman’s definition of TM by means of identifying its importance throughout the entire project life-cycle (Initiation, planning, execution, controlling and close-out) is required. It is hoped that by analysing how TM tools and techniques can positively and negatively effect the different stages of the Project life cycle a better understanding of productivity, TM and project success will result.
