As a team of 3, each one chose one site in assignment 2. Now based on the factors that I mentioned in the previous comment, we need to choose one site. The sites are STANTHORPE, Toowoomba, and Townsville. I will provide you now with the statistical summary I did for STANTHORPE. and the one for Toowomba that was done by another teammate. I will try to get the one for Townsville ASAP. If I couldn't, just make a choice between STANTHORPE and Toowomba. and provide me with your analysis ASAP please The facilitator suggested using the SPREAR method. Here is his message. I would suggest that you use the SPRAER method: Scope the Problem, Prior Knowledge, Research, Apply Knowledge, Evaluate and Reflection. It is a really good method for working through problems on the forum to allow the whole team to engage, as seen below. You should be referring to these threads in your assignments as this substantiates your Problem Solving process so take some time to use the forums well and they are worth marks.

You have statistical data for the weather associated with these and you need to consider the statistics so that you can design a solution that can be placed at the site that you choose to test your model. There are other factors that will come into play. In determining the site, you need to consider the design brief of being able to supply this TCS throughout Queensland. I look forward to your discussion on the forums. You can also go to the link to see this post and all posts related to the assignment.

I asked the facilitator: Hi, For site selection, what are the main factors that we should look at to choose one site over the other sites? For example, I discussed this question with and he said that one thing is the population of the area. If it was high, then it means that the demand for the TCS would be higher. But, I am still not sure. Should we choose the site with the highest population then? I read the note you wrote about the 5 stages for the process of choosing a site, but it is still not clear to me. Can you clarify this point please? Kind regards. And he answered: Hi Population in this case is not the most important factor. The two main factors are the energy options and the water you have available.

Firstly, as in activity 1, I need you to choose an energy option you find easier for you since no one of the team members has chosen any option yet. And I will inform the team members and facilitator of your choice. Also, since they haven't chosen a site, I will give you the Summary of the statistics of 3 or 2 sites depending on the participation of our team members. And from this data you will choose a site that you think is better for testing the conceptual design and briefly say why it's better than other sites. I will provide you with the facilitator instructions on what factors to consider when choosing a site.

As I mentioned to the sales team, this assignment has a teamwork component, which is also mentioned in the assignment file. I would like you please to provide me with the teamwork component discussion writings, which I will provide on the forums for the teamwork. Let me know if you have any questions or confusion. Also, I will provide the website link for the course so that you can access all the course notes and lectures if you need, and more importantly the team forums that are used for the assignments and the important messeges from the facilitator
