2. PART 3
Problem Statement
From and initial study conducted, it was found that the major
reason for house hold electricity bill to be high is due to the
usage of air-conditioning units. The problem at hand is why is
the air conditioning unit costing more on the electricity bill and
what was the cause.
3. PART 3
Benefits if problem is solved
If the problem is solved, i.e. electrical consumption of air
conditioning is reduced; electricity bills will be lower for
consumers. The biggest effect is to the environment where less
energy will be needed. This positively supports the green
initiatives.
5. PART 3
SOLUTION Approach
◦ S1 is the attic
◦ S2 is the living space in a house
◦ F is the field (temperature field)
◦ The Useful operating zone is the entire inner surface of the attic
◦ The Harmful operating zone is the locations in the attic that connects
to the living space. Hence this is the Zone of Conflict
◦ Boundary conditions:
The attic structure and material cannot be changed
The roof of the house can be altered.
The living space cannot be modified in terms of material or
structure
6. PART 3
Since it is a Harmful Substance Field Model, Class 1.2 of
the 76 Standard Inventive Solutions is referred. The
following are the inventive solutions from Class 1.2:
Class 1.2: Eliminating or neutralizing harmful effects
◦ 1.2.1: It is not necessary for S1 and S2 to be in direct contact.
Remove harmful effects by introducing S3.
Possible solution:
Introduction of insulation material
◦ 1.2.2: Remove the harmful effects by modifying S1 or S2. This
solution includes adding “nothing” – voids, hollow, vacuum, air,
bubbles, foam, etc. or adding a field that acts like an additional
substance
NO Possible solution:
Due to boundary conditions
◦ 1.2.3: The harmful action is caused by a field. Introduce an
element S3 to absorb the harmful effects.
Possible solution:
The usage of attic fan to absorb the heat out from the attic
7. PART 3
◦ 1.2.4: Useful and harmful exist in a system in which the
elements S1 and S2 must be in contact.
NO Possible solution:
The useful system exist and S1 and S2 not necessary to be in
contact.
◦ 1.2.5. Useful and harmful effects may exist because of
magnetic properties of an element in a system.
NO Possible solution:
Since no magnetic properties involved
Conclusion:
Looking at the various potential solutions, using the attic fan
is to be the most feasible and cost effective design. This is
because, with the insulator, the heat gain in the attic will still
build up and there is still heat trapped. This heat may
dissipate to the living space via the side walls due to
conduction and some convection if there are openings not
properly sealed.
