Shutters, shades
Noise control
Air Filter
Lights
Fans, duct, ceiling

10. Climate Window Project Advantages
Control many different features though one device
Theft prevention by making room appeared occupied
Energy savings through power dimming when room is unoccupied.
Scalable, modules may be added as required.

11. Climate Window Mode of Operation Adjustable Lighting
-The control system is connected to various sensors
-User specifies climate conditions
-System adjusts the noise baffles, fans, window shades or shutters, air filter, and window position to match the settings.
Adjustable Lighting
-Manual adjustment
-Automatic setting
-Power Save Mode when unoccupied

12. Climate Window User Interfaces
- Open or close shades or vents to change temperature
- Select times of the day to turn lights on to make house appear occupied possibly create shadows.
- Air Flow and Filtering
- Sound levels

13. Gel electrophoresis controller
Monitor progress and control temperature of laboratory apparatus
Contains optical sensor and thermocouple signal to control electric power and coolant flow rate.

24. Basic Business Case
Estimate the Average Product Selling Price (ASP$): $400
Estimate the Product Annual Sales Volume: 2500
Estimate the Per Unit Cost of all Parts and Materials using the above annual volume assumption: $100
Estimate the Per Unit Cost of all the Assembly, Test and Mfg using the above annual volume assumption: $120
Estimate the Total Development Cost in $ incl Labor+Material: $60,000
Calculate the Annual Sales $ = $400 x 2500 = $1M
Calculate the Per Unit CM$ = $400 – $245 = $155
Calculate the CM% = $155/$400 = 38.75%
Calculate the Annual CM$ = % X $1M = $387,500
Calculate the ROI Time in Years = $60,000 /$387,500 = .155 years
