5. PUGH EVALUATION MATRIX
Explanation: The final value of the Pugh Evaluation Matrix is 5 which are highest.
Concept 4 also more cost effective and reliable to the user. This concept is also easier to install
and save more energy than the datum. In addition to that, this concept also more friendly to the
user and convenient compared to the datum. This concept also has better accessibility during
earthquake than the datum itself.
