2. (B) As energy usage becomes more acute and
expensive, there are many efforts to
reduce its usage cost especially in the
home. If you consider a typical house, how
would you reduce energy usage if you are
cost constrained i.e. the solution(s) needs
to be low cost and yet effective.

5. Cause and effect chain
Home energy
usage is high
Home appliances
consume a lot of
energy
Home appliances
are not well design
and not use energy
efficiently
Home appliances
utilize energy
independently
without a
complete solution
Human factor
Lack of concern
TORIZU 5
6. Engineering Contradiction
IF we want to reduce energy usage
THEN power consumption can be improve
BUT temperature cannot be maintain at a
desired level
Improving parameter : #21 = Power
Worsening parameter : #17 = Temperature
Possible Solution : #2, #14, # 17, # 25
Chosen solution : #25 = Self service

8. Problem statement:
The problem that we aim to tackle is to
innovate wheelchair in order to create a new
technology and finally whole new market
niche without sacrificing its principle of
operation.

18. IF we set fire and burn the area openly
THEN we can clear the land for plantation
in a fast, cheap and easy way
BUT harmful particles will be released which
formed haze
Improving parameter : #33 = Ease of
Operation
Worsening parameter : #30 = Object-affected

Possible Solution : #2, #25, #28, #39
Chosen Solution : #28 = Mechanics
