Chapter-1IntroductionIn this present paper, we will discuss the current solution of heat insulation to identify the problem which can be solved through sustainable and innovation which leads to the environmentally improved solution. Heat insulation is defined as the reduction of heat transfer among the objects in thermal contact. The various factors such as global warming, shrinking snow cover and increase in the level of sea water impacts in various segments in an effective manner. The paper also describes the research in innovation tools, an evolution of tools, and comparison of current solution with the present idea using SWOT analysis, marketing of a product and environmental and social impact.Current solutionThe current effective solution is the production of a product which acts a heat insulator and utilized the product for the purpose of heat insulation. The heat insulation product can be further used to convert the stored heat into useful energy. The price of a product is determined accordingto the benefits rendered by the product. The major source is the sunlight which can render the energy, and that can be stored effectively (Kalnæs et al., 2014). Solar panel technology is anotheroption which can be used to store the sunlight, but the setup cost is unaffordable by everyone, so production of such product is necessary for storing the maximum amount of energy. The present available includes Fiberglass, cork and expanded polystyrene.
Identification problemsThe problem is identified by the loss of heat due to the absence of proper insulation product which can consume the energy that can be used for various purposes. The energy resources are diminishing due to increasing in population because the consumption also increases with the increase in population. The energy can be utilized for the various purpose for example hot water, room heater, and others. In the household activities, a large amount of energy is used for example electricity, liquid petroleum gas and others. The energy will be exhausted by the consumption on a regular basis. Chapter-2Research a successful innovation toolBrainstormingIt is defined as the process which is used to develop the solutions. It is the technique which is used to generate new ideas. It helps to develop a large number of ideas of the specific problems within the particular period of time. The brainstorming has four basic rules which help to increase the new ideas, namely, focus on quality, innovative ideas are developed, combine and improve ideas and no criticism (Shi et al., 2015). The brainstorming helps to generate new ideas in short period with the use of fewer resources. The disadvantage of the technique is that it generates irrelevant ideas, difficult to express innovative ideas and others. The steps of brainstorming include the selection of topic, fixed the time limit, prepare a plan, develop a note and clear all the matter.
