​​ 49004 Systems Engineering for Managers Assessment Item 3-- Assignment 2. Aims: This assignment aims to give you an opportunity to:  Identify, interpret and analyse stakeholder needs  Research and consider an issue of reasonable complexity using the concepts of requirement engineering and Functional Analysis  Apply tools and techniques considered in class to capture your thoughts and ideas on the topic researched. Introduction and Requirements: Buildings can have an extensive direct and indirect impact on the environment, society and the economy. The field of sustainable design seeks to balance the needs of these areas by using an integrated approach to create design solutions. Implementation of a Sustainable design helps to reduce, or completely avoid the depletion of critical resources such as energy, water and raw materials and prevent environmental degradation caused by facilities and infrastructure throughout their life cycle. Retrofitting an existing building can often be more cost- effective than building a new facility. Introduction of sustainable design attributes reduces operation costs and environmental impacts, and can increase building resiliency1. Research the literature on sustainable buildings, and what makes them sustainable. Develop a functional architecture highlighting the functionality a building possesses, including the functionality for it to be called a "green (sustainable) building". Perform a functional allocation by identifying some technologies that you may use to achieve this functionality, and therefore qualify your building as sustainable. Also, state some factors that may be used to trade- off these technologies. Research the literature to identify these factors. Develop a requirements document based on the functional architecture, with appropriate physical constraints, to ensure that your building meets the sustainable design objectives. 1 The above is based upon the document "Germany Guideline for Sustainable Building, available at: http://aaecr.ro/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Germany_Guideline_for_Sustainable_Building.pdf Ensure that your response does not merely summarize the literature. Such as response will not attract many marks. Notes:  What I will be looking for in your responses is your application of requirements engineering and functional analysis and of some of the tools of systems thinking.  Ensure that all your sources of information are properly acknowledged – via in-text referencing and through a reference list. Your references should belong to scholarly literature and/ or be articles reported in the daily media. See the subject outline for more information on referencing. The library provides very useful guidance online. You are reminded of the UTS policy on plagiarism. Ensure that the format and referencing in your response is in accordance with the guidelines contained in the Subject Outline, and any specific directions herein.  Marks will be deducted for incorrect spelling and grammar.  Group Number to be entered either as a header/ footer on each page.  No Assignments will be accepted through email.  Marks will be deducted for late submissions. Length: A maximum of 8 A4 size, single sided, pages, not including diagrams and tables. No appendices are allowed. Format must be as advised in the Subject Outline. Due: See the Subject Outline Standard Mode Students: File Name: AUT16 _Group Number Hard copies (with appropriately signed coversheets) are to be handed during the first 15 minutes of class.
