Some other useful links

To be involved in the ventilation, airconditioning and refrigeration industry, you have to develop many areas of knowledge. This includes psychrometrics, refrigerants, steam, compressors, cooling coils, electrics, controls, software, fans, refrigerant fittings, ducting, air movement...

You will agree that this list could get very long. In today's fast moving pace, you will need to solve diverse problems and you will need help from many people in the AC & R industry.
