With the growing demand for electricity worldwide, Solar Power has quickly become the top renewable energy source to satisfy this global need. There are so many cool and interesting things to know about Solar Power, and we just want to shout it  from the rooftops of where it's installed!

Last month, I attended the AHR Expo in Atlanta, Georgia. It's by far the world's largest HVACR marketplace.

You can now earn NATE Continuing Education Units or hours (CEUs) when you complete Interplay Learning HVAC courses.

This will help you gain the 16 CEU hours you need to re-certify every two years.

HVAC/R technicians with two or more years of HVAC/R experience can earn installation or service certification in one or more of the 21 specialty areas offered by NATE. Certification requires that the technician passes both the core exam and an installation or service exam for a specialty. But then, you need to earn 16 CEU hours every 2 years.

A great HVAC tech is well-versed in troubleshooting all industry equipment. But like any special craft, it takes time and experience to be able to really master a skilled trade.

As previously announced, NABCEP is finally ready to implement their new re-certification requirements starting this month, and Interplay Learning can help -- a lot.

Everyone knows that HVAC systems are an integral part of the home. But did you know that they also have a really interesting history? For example, do you know...

• Where did Central Heating even originate from?
• Why was A/C technology invented?
• Where does the term "Summer Blockbuster" come from? 
  
  

Discover the answers to these questions, and more. Check out this interesting facts video we made about the history of HVAC. 

One of the most studied – and interesting aspects of human psychology relates to how we learn. As a child, your mind captures and processes information in a simplified way. However, learning becomes a much more complex process as you age, which is a challenge VR helps address.
