3. Phase 0: PlanningMission Statement Product Description This specific project will focus on developing a replacement for the Metal Halide walkway fixtures that are located around campus. These metal halide fixtures need to provide a good return on the investment. There already exists a fixture, non LED, that facilities is looking at, but the cost is too high to put in. The LED fixture needs to be energy efficient, cost effective, and easy to maintain. Key Business Goals The primary business goals of this product are to: • Develop a new energy efficient means of lighting that can replace metal halide lighting • Decrease the use of natural resources on the RIT campus by consuming less energy through a better technology • Reduce RIT's global footprint while maintaining, or improving upon, the current lighting standards • Create a new product in the market for lighting technology • Challenge the students involved to produce a low cost and creative means of replacing conventional lights with LED lights. Primary Market The product focuses on the RIT community as a whole. The direct customer of the product would be facilities management. They would be the group that would need to install the product and maintain the product throughout its life. Facilities management would decide whether or not the product is worth replacing the existing lighting on campus. They are looking for a product that has enough value to invest in it. It needs to be energy efficient and cost effective with relatively little maintenance. Secondary Market This product, once developed, would be able to be applied to any fixture using a metal halide light bulb. The plan is to create a direct replacement for the light. There may need to be some tweaking of the design to fit into an alternate structure, but the overall concept will be the same.

4. Phase 0: PlanningMetal Halide Description • Replacement • Primary use on campus is for walkway lighting • Can be seen on quarter mile • Metal Halide • High-intensity discharge lamp • High light output for their size • Operate under high pressure and temperature • Point light source • Require reflective devices • Metal halide lamps produce light by passing an electric arc through a mixture of gases • Requires electrical ballast • Regulates the arc current flow • Delivers the proper voltage to the arc

5. Phase 0: PlanningStaffing Requirements Mechanical Engineers 2 Mechanical engineers would be in charge develop the overall package for the LED technology. A fixture to encase the LEDs needs to be developed that would suit the area where the lighting will be positioned. CAD experience as well as some manufacturing experience is necessary to develop a finished product. Electrical Engineers 2 These students will need to be able to apply their knowledge of electrical systems in order to interface the LED lighting with the available power source. The power sources available will range from grid power to solar power. In the case of sources like solar radiation, they will also have to take into account the need for energy storage within the unit or is a common storage unit for several lighting units on the system. Also, electrical engineers will prepare the electronic hardware to be mounted into the device. Industrial and Systems Engineers 1 This student will apply their knowledge of manufacturing efficiency and sustainability to help with the production and sustainable systems objectives of this particular project. These portions of the project will be especially important when looking to produce a lighting system for the third world as it will have to be very affordable and have a long life time while being able to stand up to the potentially extreme conditions it may be subjected to. Industrial Design 1 This student will head up the cosmetic design of the product. Regardless of the end application of the lighting system, the units will have to be visually appealing in addition to meeting all of the functional criteria for the product – Industrial Design will play a key roll in this portion of the project. Business Majors Consultant The business major will not be needed until the end of the project when the product can be marketed and sold to various customers. The primary customer will be RIT, but an entrepreneurial opportunity will be developed so that the product can be used in various markets publically. Skills in management and entrepreneurship will be helpful.

6. Phase 0: PlanningIntellectual Property Considerations Intellectual Property Considerations Most of the work completed by the students in this track is expected to be released to the public domain. There will be some private work that only certain groups will be able to see. Facilities Management, the primary customer, will have access to all information produced by the team. This project may develop some entrepreneur opportunities, so all of the information will not be made public. Certain key aspects of the project will be kept proprietary.

9. Phase 0: PlanningTeam Values and Norms Punctual Each team member will arrive on time and will notify fellow team members of any expected absences. It is important that the team member ensures that at least one member of the team confirms the notification Thorough Each team member is expected to do their assigned work in a manner such that it does not have to be redone by another, and if they feel that they have been assigned too much work to do that they seek out help from other team members or faculty consultants Accurate Each team member will accurately complete and document their work Professional and Ethical Each team member will credit work and information to the proper sources and will be trustworthy in all of their dealings. Demonstrates the core RIT values of SPIRIT. Each team member will remember that they are representing RIT and as such the reputation of RIT and the SD program are reflected in their work. Committed Each team member will contribute an equal share to the success of the project and commit to the challenge set before them with the understanding that the SD process should a fun and informative

15. Issues and Risks • What kind of power source could be used to attach the LED lighting fixture to the RIT grid? • How can we make it last for many years? • How can we avoid making the light like a bat cave? How can we spread out the light? • How can we keep the const of the fixture down? • How can we make it easy to install? • Is there a way to decrease the peak demand? • Is there a way to make the light recyclable? • How will we produce the proposed product in a timely manner? • How will we develop a system with a long (approximately 100,000hrs) life time? • How will we make an expensive technology product inexpensive enough to make it viable on the RIT campus? • Who will fund the project? • Who will buy/lend purchasing aid for the product? • How will this stay within the desired environmentally friendly guidelines? • How will we interface all of the components of the product? • How will the product be received by the stakeholders, customers, and end users?
