DMADV Steps
DEFINE
Define High level customer requirements and then Define project goals and objectives

MEASURE
Establish key Measures of project success based on the key customer requirements

ANALYZE
Analyze design options

DESIGN
Create the detailed construction design based on the chosen building design

VERIFY
Construct and verify the design process

Business Case
As we know nowadays because of the cost energy and make a friendly environment, people looking for something new. This is about consumer requesting. Constructors are also very welcome to find a way to sell better and most profitable way to sell. So green building it s a new way to make it happens . And we are as a designer, we design green building, this will be from first sketch up to final proposal all in all, so we can sell our design to the constructors. I designed Construction of a Pasig Riverside Green Building condominium in downtown Manila as 3 different ideas.

Define

Project Title: Construction of a Pasig Riverside Green Building condominium in downtown Manila
Background and Business Strategy: Our company started to work since 2002. Till now we had 10 projects about green building design. Our company is an international company with 100 employees. Company doesn't t work just in the green building design but the green building design is one of our main branch in this company. We have many specialists about the green building design and our mission is to spared it into the world specially in the Philippines. Goal Statement:
Design and construct a green building for client

Project Objectives
Deliver building on schedule, within budget, high quality Deliver green compliant building

Project Scope: (deliverables only not the project process)

Design and Construction of building, riverside rehabilitation, pathways within the vicinity and connection to main road Clients will expect Easy access to the main road and less distance and less traffic.

Estimated Timeline:

October 2014- October 2015 (12 months)

Initial Assumptions:
Local government will readily approve the design and provide construction permit like normal construction projects. Obtain discounts from suppliers of green technology. Availability in local market and on time delivery of imported green technology materials Pasig riverside can sustain a mid-rise 20Floor green building

Project team
Client: constructors (DMCI Company) Project champion: Dr. Lim Project Lead: Sam Project members: 10 (architect), 5 (AHU), 3 (Util), 5 (Construction engineer), 3(PM admin works),

Identified Major Risks :

Location risk: Pasig river can flood during strong typhoon and high tide. Work-around: include flood control in the plan and charge to client Cost risk: Green building materials unforeseen price increase esp in the global market Work-around: propose additional buffer on top of original project budget of the client

Project Cost & Benefit:

Our revenue streams are Selling idea to the other designers and Contract with construction company and deliver the unit to clients. Revenue: we will have 10% of the total amount of the project profit and we deduct 3% out of 10% for our expenses in building (Material,design,workers and etc.) so our pure profit is 7%. benefit: bank will accept up to 40% of the total amount of money.

Focus on LEED cooling and ventilation

Quality Function Deployment (QFD)

Radiant cooling (Idea 1)
This method will absorb the heat inside the room and transform it to radiators under the floor for chilled floor. The process of radiant exchange has a negligible effect on air temperature, so this technology will absorb exceeded heat so air ventilation will be much easier with less energy. We have 2 options as our goal to QFD for clients: Option1: comes with 15 radiators under the floor for every 20 square meters and that helps reduce temperature up to 12% but absolutely cheaper than option 2. Option 2: comes with 25 radiators under the floor for each 20 square meters and reduce the temperature up to 28%.

Shading Device (Idea 2)

Shading device is one of the cheapest method that we can design in a building to keep cooling inside according to VOC, it will increase occupant thermal comfort, reduce the glare, and increase architectural design. QFD options: Option 1: we can do the shading devices in our design. Option 2: we can specify each unit to use shading device for better performance but undoubtedly it will be exclusive for client and a bit expensive than option 1

Energy Efficiency Window (Idea 3)

Energy Efficient windows are designed to keep cold air inside and saving energy inside by eliminating the need to overcompensate for air leakage and entry during both the summer and winter months. Also it constructed to eliminate drafts. And protecting the home against leaks, drafts, and condensation. Energy Efficient Window dont require tinting in order to perform. Tinting can reduce visible light and obstruct views. In the same way, The suns harmful rays can fade artwork, paper, fabric, carpet, and wood. Energy efficient coatings on glass reduce ultraviolet (UV) rays by up to 75 percent. Option1: it comes with 2 layers of glass with Arcon inside that s why this window doesnt allowed to transfer temperature. Option2:same window with option 1 but its require to have special frame that helps us to make big and width window for towers and apartments Option3: This method can be very cheap and popular for costumers it s a thin window and reduce the ray of sun 75% and we can use it in any house by changing window.

Performance of Energy Efficient Window in three different options

Option 3 Option 2

Option 1

SITE PLAN:
This is our site plan for both designs. Pasig River is running next to the site. We are going to connect them with the main road and create easy access for our clients.

Design 1: radiant cooling A radiant cooling system refers to a temperature-controlled surface that cools indoor temperatures by removing sensible heat and where more than half of heat transfer occurs through thermal radiation

Design 2: Shading Devices New Shading devices which absorb the enough sun inside of building and distribute the light in the room

Design 3: Energy Efficacy Window Energy efficient window are designed to keep cold air and those types of windows are multiple-glazed and they have low- E coatings. High quality edge spacers and frames are also common with energy efficient windows.

Cost / Revenue Plan

We should show our window to engineer before installation so they will know this special window need special frame according to the options that we proposed so we dont have any other special task for them.

Design 3: Energy Efficacy Window Energy efficiency window will keep the cold air inside and energy efficient windows are constructed to eliminate drafts. Drafty windows are one of the most common complaints when it comes to older, also it will increased light and views and absorb the harmful rays can fade artwork, paper, fabric, carpet, and wood.

How engineers will produce the window: 1.Conceptualization

The project team comes together at the earliest stage, they will talk about the size, form, thickness, length, width etc. of the window and they will predict the climate and the form of the building then according to that they will make decision.

2.Design
Collaboration between the architect, contractor, and engineers allows for better decision making, helping to improve quality and better cooling and ventilation.

3.implementation docs.
Precise virtual models are automatically part of the design, helping to reduce uncertainty in documents and chose the best design of the window.

4.Produce
Because of careful early planning, team members are able to use best option of the windows according to plan, climate , budget etc. Construction can be completed on schedule and on budget.

How we will check the effectiveness of our design?

We divide it to 5 phases:

What I appreciate are

six sigma is customer driven Six Sigma addresses the entire process behind the production of an item or completion of a service, rather than just the final outcome

What should improve:

Six sigma is base on the statics or data so many people would fail to use real life experiences or cases to improve their own business.
