Name: José Cepeda
You should find (at least) an everyday device and explain how these alternatives adapt to a
different market.
Upload a document that contains (at least) the following:
1. Images of the different alternatives.
Conditioner air

Split
 Fan

Air extractor

2. A brief explanation of: covered market, use and innovation, if possible, for each alternative (less
than 300 words / each).

Conditioner air
The market you use and this type of device are the tropical environments, where there are high
temperatures either in the day or at night. The use given to this device is to air-condition the
environment or to have a colder environment to kill germs.
Split
This device serves for more industrial levels, as it has a higher cooling capacity. Its use is carried
out in houses or buildings to be able to have a more optimal environment for the type of activity
that is carried out.
Fan
This artifact is more senior in domestic and industrial use as it serves various types of
environments. Its use is carried out in homes to have a friendly environment or in the industry to
complete some process.
Air Extractor
This device is for more industrial use although in homes it is also used but very infrequently. Its
infrequent use occurs in homes to have a more friendly environment although less impact to those
mentioned above, for industrial use serves to have a better environment not so much with respect
to temperature but with other factors.
 3. Be sure to contrast the different alternatives that describe the similarity and differences. You
can add a context for each alternative, such as prices, historical, competition / war, only for
professional sports use, only for women / men, etc.
